The development of ComeBack Mobility aims to help and support people experiencing rehabilitation as a result of musculoskeletal injuries. Virtually all the devices are assembled in Ukraine, except for a few parts from China.
Crutches support recovery and rehabilitation after injury or orthopedic surgery by minimizing weight-bearing on the affected leg. But many patients find it challenging to use crutches properly, resulting in increased swelling, pain, and other complications. Those complications can negatively impact healing and lengthen recovery time. ComeBack Mobility has developed Smart Crutch Tips: a device-app system that helps patients comply with weight-bearing instructions while using crutches.
