The M+D Crutch
M+D Crutch redefines mobility by creating optimized crutches.
Traditional crutches can strain on a user’s hands and wrists. The M+D Crutch was designed to take some of the pressure off by more efficiently distributing body weight through a user’s elbows and forearms. The customizable braces come complete with flexible, quick-release straps that keep arms in place when they need to be, and free when they don’t. Different, removable feet help users traverse a variety of surfaces; rotating handles allow for more mobility; and a sleek, futuristic look breaks the traditional mold.
