Crutches

Crutches are a mobility aid that offloads an injured or weak leg after injuries and operations. The adjustable height ensures comfortable and safe use. The range includes elbow and axillary crutches.

Crutches — how to choose

Crutches are a mobility aid that helps people with various physical limitations move, including after injuries or operations. The height of crutches is adjustable so they are comfortable and safe to use at the user’s height.

Types of crutches

  • Elbow crutches — lighter, allow freer movement including stairs; suit longer-term use.
  • Axillary crutches — more stable, allow resting; chosen when the leg cannot be loaded or there are balance problems.

What to look for

  • Type of support — elbow or axillary.
  • Height adjustment — fitted to the user’s height.
  • Maximum load.
