What is the difference between Boundless and Discovery?
Boundless is our top of the line model and comes with our patent pending SideStix™ Shock Absorbing System to help remove the bumps and jolts typically experienced by users of forearm crutches on every stride they take. Discovery is identical to Boundless except it doesn’t have the shock absorbers, making them the lightest SideStix™ we’ve ever built. This model is ideal for those wanting a high quality, super lightweight adaptive device. Generally used for walking shorter distances, Discovery is great for shopping, working in the garden or enjoying a day at the beach.

What is the weight capacity for a pair of SideStix™?
SideStix have been independently tested at the Human Engineering Lab at the University of Pittsburgh. The million cycle test assumed a maximum weight of 300 Lbs (140Kgs). For clients exceeding this weight, we generally recommend that aluminum tubes be substituted for the typical carbon fiber tubes.
