As mentioned earlier, the Keen Krutch reduces stress to the skeletal system. Vail Horton, Keen Mobility’s CEO and founder, suffers himself from crutch induced Osteoarthritis – a common disease amongst crutch users.

Degenerative arthritis (joint disease) occurs due to cumulative wear and tear on the joint surfaces. The disease also limits the range of motion (ROM) and causes severe pain – this could result in joint (shoulder) replacement.
