MOVA: Rethinking Hands Free Mobility
“Non-weight-bearing lower leg injuries are common, and patients recovering from them often struggle to maintain their independence. Traditional crutches limit mobility and restrict the use of hands, significantly impacting daily life. Everyday tasks—such as opening doors, carrying items, showering, cooking, and navigating stairs—become difficult.
MOVA is a premium hands-free knee crutch, designed with user needs and practicality in mind. It enhances mobility and overall quality of life during recovery while offering a refined, calming aesthetic that boosts confidence and preserves dignity, ensuring users feel comfortable and empowered while wearing it.”
