 Best purchase I ever made December 4, 2008
I had regular crutches and I was miserable. The pain under my arm was too much. I saw a professional sports figure with the crutches. I called around and many didn't know what I was talking about or they were expensive. Once I purchased and used the millennial crutches, I was able to go out more. I have no pain under the arm, wrist and hand using them. They have made a nightmare situation better.
Didn't know they existed! August 13, 2008
I broke my pelvis back in April and after some rehab in a Convalescent Hospital I was discharged with conventional crutches. I used these for about a month and found it was difficult for getting into and out of a car as I had to have the driver wait until I got in to stow the crutches. I got to thinking that when I was ready to drive and still on crutches it would be nice to have something that would fold. I went to the internet and found the Millennial Crutch. I ordered them on the spot and they have proved to be very comfortable for walking and folding works well in confined spaces. I would recommend them to anyone that is looking for comfort and well built tool.
 Should have bought at Amazon August 9, 2008
I just got them. Looks like they'll be a big help and easy to use. However, I bought them at Active Forever website, where I paid about $83 for the crutches and shipping. ALWAYS check Amazon first!
good quality - new design July 7, 2008
I had foot surgery and was unable to put any weight at all on the foot for at least 6 weeks. After two days on regular crutches I was looking for a "better mousetrap." The rationale behind the Millenial crutches made sense, so I ordered a pair from Amazon. They arrived within a few days, were easy to put together, are very adjustable and well-built. Before ordering I read one review that they were flimsy, but that is just not the case. In short - they are a very well designed, high quality product. In terms of use, however, I'm not sure they have helped me all that much. Sometimes I think the shock absorber/spring back is a little too much (kickback)... the tilt in the handle may or may not help all that much, as my wrists still hurt and I have developed callouses on my palms... the larger under-arm part gives me a little more stability, but the rocking motion is less than perfect. Then again - maybe all the problems I continue to have are just me. I'm a 61 year old woman. Perhaps the combination of inadequate upper body strength, poor crutch techniques, and a challenging environment (old house with narrow hallways, etc) are the real problems. Additionally, I'm sure most women would agree, that crutches and breasts are another not so great combination (regardless of the crutch). They get in the way and tend to chafe. In any case, despite my complaining, I would encourage people to try them to see if they work well for their individual needs. If they do... great. If they don't, it's a small investment, one worth making. Oh.. almost forgot - they do fold. I haven't used that feature, but it could prove very handy.
If you have to have crutchs, these are pretty good May 25, 2008
I am completely uncoordinated and when I heard that I would need crutches for at least 6 weeks, I freaked out. I live alone and knew that I would have to be fairly proficient since there would be no one to help me after the first few days. Well, three weeks in and I can say that it still really stinks to be on crutches but these are easy to use. The spring is very helpful. You don't feel like you're pounding the pavement.
My only complaint are the ergonomic arm rests. Because they are long and I am "big chested" they push against my bra and the underwires really squeeze in. I know this won't be a problem for most.
The folding feature is great although I find it a little hard to fold them, all the men around me see it as a piece of cake.
If you have to have crutches, these are the way to go. Be sure to buy a light, cotton messenger bag to swing across your chest so that you can carry things.
good luck!
