Those looking to buy their first pair of crutches may not be aware that there are two different types of crutches, and that they have some major differences.

We have a wide range of crutches for sale - browse the range and check out online now!

There are two main types of crutches: underarm crutches and forearm (or elbow) crutches. 

Underarm crutches — Underarm crutches, also called auxiliary crutches, are the most common type of crutch. These are the typical crutches assigned to patients in recovery from ankle or knee injuries, most often for short term use until the injury has healed. They have a pad that is held under the arm, pressed into the patient's side during use. 

Forearm crutches — The other major type of crutch is the forearm crutch, also known as the elbow crutch. These crutches have an open cuff that grips the user's forearm during use. Forearm crutches are typically used long-term and are commonly used by bariatric patients to increase mobility. 

The differences are not merely in design, the two different types of crutch have different strengths and weaknesses. Which type you choose should depend on your individual needs. If you’re unsure which crutch type is best for you please get in touch with our friendly mobility experts.

Adjustable crutches to fit all patients. Underarm crutches, forearm crutches, and more.

When it comes time to buy crutches it’s important to know get the right size and fit. Here is a quick guide to sizing your crutches: 

Sizing forearm crutches

Wearing your normal walking shoes, stand with your arms relaxed by your sides. Your wrist should align with your crutch’s handgrip. Your arm should be bent around 30 degrees when using your crutches, so aligning the crease of your wrist with the handgrip allows for this flexion. Adjust your crutch’s cuff to around 3-5cm below the crook of your elbow. 

Sizing underarm crutches

While standing upright the top of your crutches should sit about 2-5cm beneath your armpits. Your crutch handgrips should align with the tops of your hips, allowing for a slight bend in your elbows when grasping your handgrips. 

Browse our range of crutches for sale along with accessories for crutches. If you’d like assistance choosing the right crutches for you, please get in touch with our friendly, knowledgeable staff.
