Ideal For

These forearm crutches are well suited for tall adults recovering from lower extremity injuries, fractures, or surgeries who require a forearm crutch that accommodates a taller frame without compromising fit or stability. They are a practical choice for physical therapists and orthopedic clinicians who prescribe forearm crutches for patients who need partial or full non-weight-bearing ambulation and prefer the forearm cuff design for improved control and reduced wrist fatigue compared to axillary crutches. Individuals with chronic mobility conditions such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, or post-polio syndrome who use forearm crutches as a long-term mobility aid will benefit from the independent leg and forearm adjustment, which allows precise fitting to the user's specific proportions. They are also appropriate for home health agencies and durable medical equipment suppliers that need a reliable, adjustable forearm crutch option for tall adult patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between forearm crutches and axillary (underarm) crutches?
Forearm crutches (also called Lofstrand or elbow crutches) have a cuff that wraps around the forearm, allowing the user to release the hand grip without dropping the crutch. They provide more control and are generally preferred for long-term use or by users who need crutches permanently. Axillary crutches rest under the armpit and are more commonly used for short-term recovery. Forearm crutches reduce the risk of axillary nerve damage associated with prolonged underarm crutch use.

How do I adjust the crutch height?
Both the leg (overall height) and forearm sections adjust independently. Set the overall height so the hand grip is at wrist level when standing upright with arms relaxed at your sides. Adjust the forearm cuff so it sits approximately 1 to 1.5 inches below the elbow. Your physical therapist can assist with proper fitting to ensure safe and comfortable use.

What is the weight capacity?
These crutches have a weight capacity of 300 lbs. Do not exceed this limit to ensure safe and reliable use.

Are these crutches covered by insurance?
Forearm crutches may be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance as durable medical equipment (DME) when prescribed by a physician. Contact your insurance provider for coverage details and documentation requirements.
