How It Works

Unlike standard axillary (underarm) crutches, elbow crutches transfer weight through the forearm. This reduces the risk of nerve damage in the armpit and provides a more stable, controlled walking gait. The elbow cuff secures the forearm, while the hand grip supports the user's weight during the weight-bearing phase of a step.

Usage and Installation Guidelines

Height Adjustment: Ensure the crutch is adjusted so that your elbow is slightly bent when your hand is on the grip.
Weight Distribution: Always apply weight through the hand grip, not the elbow cuff, to prevent injury.
Surface Contact: Ensure the rubber tip (ferrule) is making full contact with the ground to prevent slipping.

Maintenance and Care

Inspection: Regularly check the rubber tip for wear and tear. Replace immediately if the tread is worn down.
Cleaning: Wipe down the frame and grips with a damp cloth and mild detergent to maintain hygiene and grip integrity.
Storage: Store in a dry environment to prevent any potential oxidation of metal components.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Is it suitable for outdoor use? Yes, it is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, though uneven terrain may require extra caution.
Why is my arm feeling tired? Ensure the height is adjusted correctly; improper height can lead to excessive muscle strain.
When should I replace the crutch? If you notice any bending in the frame or significant wear on the rubber tip, the device should be replaced to ensure safety.
