The Nonslipper is a crutch designed to provide adequate support to the user even on slippery surfaces. It can be easily adjusted for people of different heights by simply rotating the handle. The user can also adjust the height appropriately for additional support when seated, for example, and fold it up easily for storage when it is not in use. The arched rather than straight shape also minimizes the loss of kinetic energy and reduces impact.
