Nordic Walking Stick to Crutches Adapter

Nordic Walking Stick to Crutches Adapter - open-source assistive technology prototype by the Ichilov hospital community

The challenge

Nordic sticks are relatively narrow compared to crutches so accessories designed to connect to crutches do not fit them.

Who it helps

People using Nordic sticks for walking.

How it works

The solution will turn the diameter of the walking/climbing sticks into the standard diameter of crutches to enable the use of crutch accessories.

A rubber adapter that thickens the Nordic stick and gives it a diameter of 23mm like crutches.

Tools needed

PC or MAC I7 +

Prusa slicer

FDM Printer
