“Our groundwork findings demonstrate both its safety as well as its broad applicability. We have seen the prototype medical crutches and are very satisfied and impressed with it. We look forward to undertaking the next study, a multi-specialty and multi-disciplinary study with Sunnybrook and several departments of the University of Toronto.”
