What Are Adjustable Elbow Crutches?
Elbow crutches, also known as forearm crutches, are a type of mobility aid that support the user’s forearms rather than underarms. They are ideal for people who need extra assistance with balance or weight-bearing while maintaining an upright posture. The adjustable feature ensures the crutches can be tailored to suit users of different heights and physical needs, promoting comfort and reducing fatigue during use.
Unlike traditional underarm crutches, elbow crutches are more ergonomic and less likely to cause nerve damage or discomfort under the arms, making them a preferred choice for long-term or frequent use.

How to Use Elbow Crutches Correctly
Adjust the height of the crutches so the handles are at wrist level when standing upright with arms at your sides.
Place the cuffs just below the elbow for support, making sure they are snug but not tight.
Hold the grips firmly, and move the crutches forward together while stepping with the injured or weak leg.
Use your stronger leg to propel yourself forward, relying on the crutches to bear some weight.
Tip: Always consult a medical professional or physiotherapist before starting to use crutches, especially after surgery or trauma.
Maintenance and Care
Clean regularly with mild soap and water to prevent dirt buildup.
Inspect rubber tips for wear and replace if necessary.
Ensure locking mechanisms (if present) are secure before each use.
Store in a dry area to prevent corrosion or material fatigue.
