I am a crutch user and was looking for crutch accessories to make my crutches more comfortable. I tried Ergo Grip and I think it is much more comfortable than standard crutch hand grip as it seems to prevent aggravation with excessive pressure on my wrist while bearing my weight over my hands on the crutch hand grip for walking. I feel that the combination of the wider ergonomic palm rest of Ergo Grip and the thumb rest helped me to distribute my weight on my hand more evenly and balanced with great sturdy grip. It takes more weights off the wrist so I think It also prevents overworking wrists and hands that may cause other pains while using crutches.
