Walking with crutches in the winter or wet season can be very challenging to say the least and crutch tips of the highest caliber do not stand a chance against slick surfaces.
CRUTCH TIP # 1
Never walk on painted surfaces, namely painted lines on asphalt. Yellow paint is by far the most slick of surfaces when it comes to walking with crutches. It seems that the yellow painted surfaces that don the entrances to store fronts and other public areas are there to attempt to make surfaces safer and add traction for older folks and those whom are disabled or injured, but from my experience these surfaces are very slick and should be avoided at all costs.
That's it for this post.
