The challenge was to abandon the import of commodities and generate a unique, humanized, fixed Canadian crutch based on real-life reports with high applied technology and performance. Created with the aim of improving the lives of people with temporary or permanent disabilities, this crutch is born from real stories of overcoming obstacles to deliver cost-effectiveness, technology and innovation. The union of people with disabilities with numerous health professionals, ergonomic testing laboratories and designers has generated a new level of well-being and efficiency in assistive products.
