Technical and product questions
Maximum ERGODYNAMIC indicated weight is 130 kg, but there is another label with size S, recommended for people weight 60 kg. I am … kg, do I have a right size ?
The ERGODYNAMIC crutch has been tested to support a static weight of up to 130 kg, which means its overall structure can withstand loads up to this limit.
However, the unique feature of the ERGODYNAMIC cane lies in its integrated shock absorber, available in three sizes:
-
Size S: for users up to 60 kg
-
Size M: recommended for users between 60 and 75 kg
-
Size L: suitable for users between 75 and 130 kg
In other words, if you weigh 100 kg and use a size M cane, the structure of the cane will still be compatible with your body weight. However, the shock absorber will be compressed beyond its optimal capacity, which will reduce or eliminate the cushioning effect while walking.

Pourquoi vous n'ajoutez pas les dragonnes sur toutes vos cannes ?
Les dragonnes sont des accessoires optionnels pour les béquilles et les cannes, et la plupart des utilisateurs n’en ont pas besoin. Il est recommandé d’être particulièrement vigilant lorsqu’on utilise une canne avec dragonne, car le risque de blessure en cas de chute est plus élevé. Si vous souhaitez malgré tout utiliser une dragonne, vous pouvez l’acheter séparément en tant qu’accessoire
