Get Excellent Support with Crutches

Are you dealing with a foot or hip injury, making movement painful? Or do you need to rest your leg after surgery? Then it's a good idea to get some crutches. They allow you to shift your body weight onto your arms, avoiding pressure on the injured foot or hip.

We offer crutches, also known as forearm crutches, that are easy to fold and adjust in height. Additionally, we have crutches suitable for people of all heights. Whether you want a colored crutch or prefer classic black or gray, you have plenty of options to match your style. This way, you can always find a crutch that suits you, your body, and your needs.

  • REMEMBER! Use the crutch on the opposite side of the injured leg. For instance, if your left leg is hurt, carry the crutch on your right side.

Buy a Foldable Crutch for Easy Transport

If you need to bring your crutch on trips or frequently transport it, investing in a foldable crutch is advantageous. It’s easy to carry without taking up much space.

Our foldable crutches or forearm crutches are simple to fold and unfold. They are also height-adjustable, ensuring proper fit for you.

Forearm Crutches with Soft, Ergonomic Handles

You'll find crutches with anatomical handles for a correct and extra comfortable grip. These handles are shaped to fit your hand, providing superior support when a significant portion of your weight rests there.

  • REMEMBER! If you choose an anatomical crutch, ensure it’s for the correct side, as the handle is designed for either the right or left hand.

Whether you select crutches with anatomical, soft, or hard handles is a personal preference depending on your usage duration.

Soft handles might be beneficial if you use the crutches for extended periods, as they provide comfort.

For additional comfort, you can purchase soft padding to attach to the grip and arm support.

How to Adjust Your Crutch Height

It's crucial to adjust crutches to the correct height. If set too low, it may cause back pain. Conversely, setting it too high can strain your shoulders. Careful height adjustment ensures maximum comfort.

To find the right height for your crutches, stand upright with your arms by your sides. Measure the distance from the middle of your wrist to the ground. This should match the distance from the top of the crutch handle to the ground.

How to Use Crutches

If you're new to using crutches, the technique can be tricky, especially for stairs. Once adjusted to your height, you're ready to use them. Here's how:

  1. First, lift the injured leg slightly and bend it backward.
  2. Move both crutches forward and use them as a support while stepping forward with your good leg.
  3. Then simply repeat the first two steps.

It's advisable to practice in a safe environment at home, starting slowly.

Conquer Stairs with Crutches

When navigating stairs with crutches, a different tactic is needed. Substitute one crutch with the railing, using your good leg side for the railing. Place one hand on it while using the opposite hand with a crutch for support. Use the railing to lift yourself, hopping up with the good leg.

For descending, switch the side with the railing to your injured leg side and step forward with the injured leg, avoiding contact with steps. With one hand on the railing and one on the crutch, move the crutch to the next step, using the railing to gently hop down. Always take your time to ensure safety.
