Competence Center for Crutches & Adaptive Mobility

Crutches are not a marginal topic. They change everyday life – often fundamentally.

Using crutches is not only a physical challenge. It affects mobility, independence, safety – and the way everyday life is organised and experienced. Many practical questions arise only once people are already using crutches:
about correct adjustment, strain on hands, shoulders and back, daily routines, work situations, safety in public spaces, or long-term use. These questions are rarely answered in brochures – they emerge in real life.

Experience from practice – not from catalogues

The Caredeluxe Competence Center brings together insights from countless conversations with users, therapists and people who rely on crutches not just temporarily, but over longer periods of time. No marketing language.
No simplified answers. Instead, practical knowledge based on real experience. Our goal is not to provide quick fixes, but to offer orientation in complex situations.

Topics we frequently encounter

Many users approach us with similar concerns, for example:
– Using crutches in everyday life and at work – How realistic mobility can be maintained in daily routines and professional contexts.
– Pain, discomfort and incorrect load – Typical causes of pain in hands, wrists, shoulders or neck – and how to avoid them.
– Adjustment and technique – Grip height, posture and gait: small details with significant impact.
– Accessories, variants and meaningful additions – What is genuinely helpful – and what is not.
– Long-term use and individual solutions – When crutches become a constant companion rather than a temporary aid.

Mobility is more than a medical aid

We believe that crutches are not a necessary evil. They are a tool that enables mobility – and therefore become part of personal life planning. This is where our approach begins:
moving away from short-term solutions, towards conscious, adapted and self-determined use.

Exchange instead of one-way advice

Many valuable insights do not emerge from manuals, but from the exchange of experiences between people facing similar situations. For this reason, the competence center is
designed as an open platform: for questions, shared experiences, discussions and different perspectives.
