Hands-free crutch-alternative mobility aid

The idea, in plain language
A Canadian caretaker built a side hustle selling hands-free crutch alternatives marketed as a more comfortable mobility aid for injured users and the people caring for them. Revenue comes from direct e-commerce sales of the physical device, with no detailed financials in the episode. The customer is someone recovering from a leg/foot injury who finds standard underarm crutches painful, plus their caretakers.
