Testimonials


Over the years my customers have been kind enough to write and tell me how much they like my Performance and Tornado crutch tip technology. In the beginning when money was short, I was encouraged by these letters. They confirmed what I already knew and gave me the "emotional income" to stay with this business. I have collected nearly a hundred unsolicited testimonials. Here are just a few:


 

President Clinton ripped the tendon in his right knee in a staircase tumble on March 14 of 1997. My friend and crutch customer Charlie Harles sent President Clinton a pair of my patented Performance gel-filled crutch tips. The President liked them so much he asked what other products I had. I sent him my “Whole Crutch Catalog.” The White House Medical Unit called and ordered a pair of Enabling Technology's Superlite crutches with my gel grips, tips and cuff inserts installed. I thanked them for the order and asked for a credit card…can't be too careful! President Clinton took his Superlites around the world! When asked at a news conference about his dressy black crutches he replied; “These are my 'Stealth' crutches…I think they were developed as an offshoot of B-2 technology…I like them quite a lot.”


 

"I have been hiking in Glacier National Park with my Superlites--something that would have been impossible with my old adjustables. Thanks for the great views, close-up snow in July, deep sky, beautiful rocks, friendly mountain goats, and feeling of exhilaration--all of which made possible by these great sticks!"

This looks like a pretty good place to float your crutches

 

Dear Sir, I received my custom pair of titanium shepherds, custom fitted crutches and I am absolutely thrilled with them. As an RAK and LAE amputee, the lightness of these crutches enables me to glide forward with more ease and comfort. Thank you so very much for coming through with a pair of life-long companions. Sincerely

"I feel much more secure now when walking on your crutch tips, and sure that they have saved me from falling many times. One time the crutch started to slip out from under me on a wet spot on a tile floor, but the wonderful tips flexed, staying flat and caught on the dry tile."

  • Dick Quinn, Rochester Minnesota
 

Please tell Thomas that he needs to include a warning with his crutches. I bought a pair of Superlights recently, after using adjustable crutches for 2 years. My plan was to use the Superlights for work and save my old crutches for rougher life. Take $400.00 crutches to the beach? You have to be kidding!! Well I tried my old crutches for the first time in 3 months. The noise made me crazy, my hands hurt, the size was just wrong enough to make me hunch like Quazimoto. You should have warned me that I couldn't go back again.

"I have had Cerebral Palsy since birth. My cousin, who is a physical therapist, suggested that I try your crutch tips. I feel that he couldn't have made a better choice. Your product has really made a difference. The improved traction has decreased my tendency to fall on slippery surfaces. My balance when using stairs without handrails has also improved."

  • Maria Bottiglieri, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
 

"Upper arm and shoulder pain has disappeared and not returned since I started using your new crutch tips. Many Thanks!"

  • Hap Fails, Sunnyvale, California
 

"Dear Mr. Fetterman, I received my new crutches (Litestix aluminum)in early November and have used them continuously since then. I am very happy with them. They make walking easier and less painful. The are much lighter than my old crutches so I do not tire as quickly.I now go for long walks with my dog. I was no able to do this in the past. Thank you very much for the thoughtfulness that you put into their manufacturer and the speed in their delivery. My best wishes to you and your fine company. Sincerely,"

"I have had my current crutch tips (tornados) for 2.5 year - my all time record - "normal" ones usually last 3 months max. Tornado crutch tips are safer, kinder on the joints and they keep going, and going, and going... - what more could I ask for. As an AK amputee who uses crutches for all recreational activities and hiking, an active mom of 2 young kids and a physical therapist, I have had lots of opportunity to educate people about Fretterman crutches and crutch tips - those who have followed my advice, have all been very satisfied with your products. Thanks again for your good work and products. Good luck.
