What makes these crutches different from others like them?
These are high-quality underarm crutches with extra comfort and support—ideal for short- to medium-term use. The padded underarm rests and sturdy aluminium frame make them easier to use than budget models, with better balance and confidence when moving about.
Why use underarm crutches?
Underarm crutches are best for people who need full or partial support during recovery and may not have strong balance or upper body strength. They’re easier to use right away and provide stable, weight-bearing support through the arms—especially after surgery or injury.
How do underarm crutches compare to forearm crutches?
Underarm crutches provide more stability and are easier to manage for short-term use. They support more of your body weight through the arms and are often more comfortable for new users. Forearm crutches are better for long-term use or when greater mobility and freedom are needed—but they require more coordination and upper body strength.
Are they easy to adjust?
Yes. You can easily set the correct height for your body using the push-button system on the crutch shaft.
Can I use these outside?
Yes. The non-slip rubber tips provide good traction on surfaces like concrete, paving, tiles, and indoor flooring.
