Crutch Startup looking innovating and simplifying the recovery process

For anyone who’s been on crutches: What everyday tasks caught you completely off guard? I’m doing some research on the real-world challenges of using crutches, and I’d love to hear about your experience:

• What seemingly simple tasks became way harder than you expected? (Things you never would have thought about until you were actually on crutches)

• Were there moments where you thought “there HAS to be a better way to do this”? What were they?

• Did you find any products, hacks, or workarounds that actually helped? What worked and what didn’t?

• Looking back, what would have made your recovery period significantly easier or more independent?
