Get Good Support with Crutches

Are you suffering from a foot or hip injury, causing discomfort when moving around? Or does your leg need rest after surgery? Then getting crutches is a wise choice. By using them, you can shift your body weight to your arms, allowing you to completely avoid putting pressure on the injured foot or hip.

We offer crutches, also known as forearm crutches, which can easily be folded and adjusted in height. Additionally, we provide crutches suitable for both tall and short individuals. Whether you want a colorful crutch or prefer a classic black or gray, you have plenty of options to choose a model that matches your style. This ensures you'll always find a crutch that fits you, your body, and your needs.

- **REMEMBER!** Your crutch should be used on the opposite side of the injured leg. Meaning, if your left leg is injured, you should carry the crutch on your right side.

Choose from a Variety of Quality Crutches

Crutches are used when you have injured your leg or foot and need to relieve the area for a period. The advantage of a good crutch is that it allows you to move around without needing to put weight on the affected leg.

It's crucial that the model is tailor-made for you. We understand that, which is why we offer a wide range of variants to choose from. This way, you are guaranteed to find crutches or forearm crutches that provide precisely the support you need.

It's important to ensure that your crutch is adjusted to your height to avoid unnecessary strain on your body. Opting for a height-adjustable crutch is highly beneficial, as you can set it precisely to your requirements.

Buy a Collapsible Crutch for Easy Transportation

If your crutch needs to accompany you on travel or frequently be transported, purchasing a collapsible crutch is advantageous. This allows you to easily take it with you without taking up much space.

All our collapsible crutches or forearm crutches are easy to fold and unfold. They can also be adjusted in height to ensure they are correctly set for you.

We Also Offer Crutches with Anatomical Handles

We especially feature crutches with anatomical handles that ensure a correct and very comfortable grip on the crutch. Anatomical handles are shaped to fit the hand. This is a significant advantage when much of your body weight needs to rest on the handle.

- **REMEMBER!** If you select an anatomical crutch, it is important to choose for the correct side, as the handle is designed for either the right or left hand.

Choosing between anatomical, soft, or hard handles on a crutch often comes down to personal preference and depends on how much and how long you plan to use your crutch.

You can also opt for crutches with soft handles, which are beneficial for extended use due to their comfortable feel on your hands.

To make your crutch even more pleasant to hold, you can purchase soft padding that can be attached to the handle and arm support.

How to Adjust Your Crutch Height

Correctly setting the height for your crutches is vital. Setting them too low may lead to back pain, while too high can strain the shoulders. Careful height adjustment ensures maximum comfort when using crutches.

To determine the proper height setting for your crutches, stand upright with a straight back and arms hanging at 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 Your Crutches

If you're not accustomed to using crutches, mastering the technique can sometimes be challenging, especially when climbing stairs. Once you have adjusted the height to suit you, you're ready to use the crutches. Here's how:

1. Slightly lift the injured leg and bend it slightly backward. 2. Move both crutches forward and use them for support as you then move your good leg forward. 3. Simply repeat the first two steps.

It can be a good idea to practice in a safe environment at home to start slowly.

Overcome Stairs with Your Crutches

Navigating up or down stairs with crutches requires a slightly different technique. Primarily, replace one crutch, if you normally use two, with the stair railing. Place one hand on the railing on the same side as your good leg. Use the opposite hand with the crutch for extra support. The railing is used to lift your body weight. With the good leg, take a small step up to the next step.

When going down the stairs, reverse the position of which leg is closest to the railing, so it is now your injured leg. Similarly, keep your injured leg forward instead of bent backward to avoid hitting the step. With one hand on the railing and the other on the crutch, first move your crutch down to the next step, then take a small step down using the railing for support. Always allow yourself the necessary time for safe and careful navigation of stairs.
