Medical Professionals

Physical Therapists agree - the StrongArm Forearm Cane is a breakthrough medical device, especially with the reluctant patient. Patients agree too. Our unique product excels in comparison to traditional canes, crutches, quad canes and forearm crutches. In fact, in a recent review by Mayo Clinic, the StrongArm Forearm Cane received a score of 4.2 out of 5 by patients asked to rate their overall comfort, safety and willingness to purchase our ambulatory device. (Conventional hand canes only scored a 2.5 and conventional forearm crutches scored a dismal 2.1!)

 

What else did the Mayo Clinic have to say?...     

".Over the last 6 weeks, we have performed an internal quality review of the StrongArm assistive device with numerous individuals who require an assistive device during ambulation. These individuals present to our physical therapy department with a variety of musculoskeletal and neurological diagnoses and have been receiving ongoing therapy at Mayo Clinic Arizona. All patients were requested to rate the benefit when ambulating on level surfaces and while being closely monitored by a licensed physical therapist..

 

"Throughout our review, we received consistent anecdotal responses to feeling more secure walking with the StrongArm device when compared to a standard cane, forearm cane, auxiliary crutch or no assistive device. Subjects reported the feeling of increased stability without feeling a self perceived handicap... As noted by these non-scientific ratings, the StrongArm mobility device was well received and I believe it to be beneficial to utilize when making equipment recommendations for our patients.
