Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if the youth size is correct for my patient or child?
The youth crutch fits patients between 4 ft 6 in and 5 ft 2 in tall, with a crutch height adjustment range of 36 to 44 inches. When properly fitted, the underarm pad should be approximately 1 to 2 inches below the armpit, and the hand grip should allow a slight bend at the elbow when the user is standing. Consult a physical therapist for proper crutch fitting guidance.

Are these crutches sold as a pair or individually?
These crutches are sold as a pair. The listing price includes both left and right crutches.

How is the crutch height adjusted?
The crutch height is adjusted using a push-pin mechanism that allows height changes in 1-inch increments without tools. Pull the pin, slide the lower tube to the desired height, and release the pin to lock it in place. The hand grip height is adjusted separately using the wing nut on the hand grip assembly.

What is the weight capacity of these crutches?
These crutches support a maximum weight capacity of 300 lb per pair when used as intended.
