Garcia Forearm Crutch with Ergodynamic Shock Absorber

This English cane with Ergodynamic shock absorber reduces the impact of the cane on the ground during walking. Prevents injuries to upper limb joints caused by impacts in the continued use of the English cane as a technical aid for walking. It has a soft-touch, double-thickness grip, which provides a more comfortable grip. The shape of its elbow pad allows the cane to be placed on different surfaces, preventing it from falling.

English canes are part of the group of support products that are used in disease situations in which the patient requires relief from one of the lower limbs, a greater base of support and safer walking. Except in exceptions or because the medical prescription indicates otherwise, when only an English cane is used, it must be carried on the opposite side of the injury. In this way, the patient will be better supported by unloading the affected limb more effectively.

To achieve a safer gait, the patient must have good muscle capacity and good trunk balance. The height adjustment will be made in such a way that the forearm brace does not block the elbow joint. To do this, it will be placed in the posteroproximal part of the forearm at a distance of approximately 5 cm from the elbow joint. There is a great variety of English canes: integral, with folding elbow pad, anatomical cuff.

We must check the condition of the tip frequently, since once the rubber begins to wear out, the risk of falling increases and the pole loses grip and, therefore, stability.
