It seems ages since I added to my blog. However, exciting things are happening. I took my crutch hand grips to Nashville, TN to the APA's CSM, in February, and in June to a trade show in San Antonio, Texas for the National Convention of Physical Therapists. At both shows, the reception of my product was great.
One question which came up often was "Do you have anything for walkers?" Older hands hurt. Older hands that must use walkers either for total support or simply to help steady a person, need more comfort on existing walkers at a minimum cost. Since coming home I have been working diligently on a prototype. It is almost ready for production. Watch for it.
Also, I am excited to say that I am planning a small change to my present crutch grips that will give a person a choice on how to hold the crutch. If the hand tires in one position, the person may change to another. I feel this is a huge improvement. This new design should be in production in the fall.
By the way, have you noticed my price reduction, which now includes postage and handling? At a time when everything is going up, I am pleased to be able to do this, at least for the present.
I will show off my grips again in Las Vegas, Nevada, in February, at the APTA's Combined Sections Meeting (CSM). Look me up. I'd like to meet you.
