I like the part at the elbow that supports your arm, plus I bought the zippered cover for the elbow part (paired with this listing) which has a Velcro strap. That addition makes it so much easier to let go of the grip so I can do something with my hands, and the crutches don’t fall over. I bought the set of two (an option when I purchased) rather than just one, and am very glad I did because I use only one inside the house but when I take my daily half hour walk outside it really is easier to walk (and less energy draining) using two. I am feeling some progress with healing with my knee because A. The crutches make it so I can continue my daily walks, and keeping moving is necessary for my type of knee joint issue, and B. This helps reduce the load on my bad knee which is also beneficial. Note: These are not the type of crutches that allow you to not put your foot on the ground at all (or maybe I’m too uncoordinated for that), but these are something you use when you want to start putting some weight on your leg/ankle/knee but need some help. These have been a remarkable game changer for me! These and glucosamine chondroitin capsules, that is! Read more
My brother recently purchased the Forearm Crutches for Adults, and we’ve been really impressed with them! The adjustable design ensures a perfect fit, and the open cuff provides great comfort and support. They’re lightweight, sturdy, and easy to maneuver, making them ideal for daily use. He’s been using them for a while now, and they’ve held up perfectly. Highly recommend these crutches for anyone in need of reliable, comfortable mobility assistance! Read more
I purchased these for a friend who’s dependent on these forearm crutches. She had recently been at the hospital for a procedure, and after that procedure, the staff had forgotten to hand her the one crutch. She’s on disability, and a limited income. The hospital was a good 3 hour drive from where she lives and couldn’t go back for it. It’s like breaking in a new pair of shoes for her. She uses the new pair a few hours at a time. She Loves them, they are comfortable, and especially likes the convenient reflectors on both the front and the back of each crutch. I thought they were reasonably priced. And well manufactured.

I've gone through several pairs of these and find them very helpful for walking stability. They are light, easily adjusted but, perhaps a bit too thin because if you fall, they aren't that hard to break. Usually right around one of the adjustment holes. The rubber tips are decent, but beware of wet surfaces, as some can still be slippery. There's a washer installed inside the tips. I've added a thin piece of cork on top of the metal washer to add some additional life to the rubber tips. Read more
Really comfortable to use. I like the arm support. Read more
HAd my hip replaced and these made the PT so much easier and getting around on them was so easy. Read more
These crutches are excellent because they don't offer armpit pain like regular crutches do. When you bang up your knees, these are the ones to have. I recommend that you purchase these if you have strong arms. Read more
These were well constructed. For me, at 66, I did not have enough upper body strength to make good use of these. Even though they are more comfortable than conventional crutches. For someone younger and/or in better shape, I think they would be a good choice Read more
