After I broke my ankle playing basketball and spent six weeks on crutches, I immediately experienced the problem with crutches, the underarm pain. Along with fellow Georgia Tech biomedical engineers Andrew Varghese and Frankie Swindell, I founded Better Walk to create a crutch that allowed users to rest in a manner that didn't put pressure in the armpits. The Better Walk crutch is a new type of crutch that allows users to have improved stability during the motion.
