ERGOTECH
The Ergotech is a crutch designed to adapt primarily to the user, not the other way around:
-
To the user’s body shape, with a forearm support adjustable in height according to the user’s morphology (4 positions: 220 to 267 mm)
-
To the desired space, thanks to its fully foldable handle
• Ergonomic forearm crutches
Base Locking device Tipod Changeable grip
Notre engagement de qualité
All suppliers are based in European Union member countries, comply with international standards, and can provide the corresponding certificates.
Our walking aids undergo comprehensive testing conducted by CERAH (Center for Studies and Research on Assistive Devices for People with Disabilities), an organization accredited by COFRAC (French Accreditation Committee). These tests are designed to ensure the mechanical and thermal compliance of our products according to NF EN ISO 11334-1.
None of the components used show any permanent deformation or breakage following these tests.
Finally, all our products are phthalate-free and latex-free.
A load force corresponding to a maximum user weight of 130 kg is applied one million times to the walking stick at its maximum extension using a dummy arm.
We test the low-temperature resistance of the materials used to manufacture our walking sticks. To do this, the FDI walking stick is weakened by being placed in an environment at -25°C for 24 hours. It is then subjected to a series of drops, which must not reveal any cracks or breaks.
Our walking sticks must be able to withstand a static load of 130 kg without weakening. To achieve this, a load force is applied to the stick at maximum extension using a dummy arm, methodically reproducing a load increase of 1,300 newtons over 10 seconds.
Separation tests are carried out on our walking sticks to ensure the safety of each assembly. To do this, a tensile force of 500 newtons is applied for 10 seconds to the upper and lower parts of the walking stick. No component of the walking stick must come apart.
