Mobility Designed is a medical device company, located in Kansas City and focused on creating pain free mobility aids for people with walking challenges. Our first product, the M+D Crutch is planned to go into production in summer 2016, is a revolutionizing crutch that uses the elbow as the main point of support. The M+D Crutch provides support that allows users to walk further and be more active without pain to their hands, wrists and armpits.

At Mobility Designed we believe the status quo is not good enough. We believe better quality of life can be achieved through improved mobility, and our mission is to create mobility devices that combine a painless experience and an elevated esthetic.
