On 15th October 2005 mother & daughter duo Clare & Amelia’s lives were flipped upside down when Amelia suffered a spinal injury following a quad bike accident. After immediately losing all feeling from her waist down, Amelia regained strength but faced a new life, reliant on walking aids.
At this point, the pair were confronted with a gap in the market and set about designing the most comfortable, safe and stylish crutches & walking sticks on the market to offer those reliant on walking aids, a fun alternative which reflected their personality before their injury or disability.
Cool Crutches co-founder Amelia reflects on being pregnant with a disability during the Coronavirus pandemic and the shocking reality of her husband's battle in hospital with the virus.
As a result of physical reliance on mobility aids or surfaces for support, bacteria is often transferred more easily from hands to crutches or walking sticks and vice versa.
