Description
The Crutches Elbow / Forearm, Adult are advanced mobility aids designed to assist individuals with lower limb injuries or chronic mobility issues in walking independently and safely. Unlike traditional underarm crutches, forearm crutches support the user through a cuff that wraps around the forearm, allowing for greater freedom of movement, improved posture, and more ergonomic weight distribution.
Constructed from durable, lightweight materials—typically anodized aluminium—these adult forearm crutches are built for daily use. Their height-adjustable shafts accommodate users of varying heights, ensuring optimal comfort and balance. The ergonomic handles are contoured to fit the palm, reducing strain on the hands and wrists, even during extended periods of use.
The forearm cuffs are typically semi-enclosed or open-ring in design, offering secure support while allowing for quick release when needed. Each crutch is fitted with a non-slip rubber ferrule that ensures maximum ground traction on both indoor and outdoor surfaces.
