Crutches are for people with mobility impairments ranging from short-term disabilities to lifetime impairments and provide balance and stability to the gait, reducing pressure on the user's legs. They shift the weight from the lower body to the upper body. Users with partial loss of leg strength can use them. This walking aid provides a sense of independence to a person with a disability. Health conditions like cerebral palsy, sprains, strains, fractures, surgery, etc., require keeping weight off the feet, creating a requirement for crutches. Buy high-quality and stable crutches for temporary or permanent ambulation needs from top manufacturers like Drive Medical, Medline, Cardinal Health, and many more at attractive prices. Buy now and enjoy exclusive discounts on all purchases!

Types of Crutches

Crutches are made with sturdy materials like aluminum and alloys to support the user's weight efficiently. They are height adjustable to accommodate the sizes of various users. Height adjustments can be made easily, generally, by pushing a button. Crutches fall into two categories:

Underarm or Axilla:

Underarm crutches are suitable to support ambulation in people with temporary mobility impairment. Underarm or arm crutches are placed below the armpit beside the ribs to support the body weight. A hand grip is also provided parallel to the crutches' pads. The armpit pad of arm crutches must be soft enough to reduce pressure on the sensitive armpit area. Otherwise, it may lead to possible diseases like crutch paralysis or crutch palsy due to the pressure on the nerves in the armpit.

• Pros
  • Require less upper body strength
  • Easy to master, takes less coordination
  • Readily available
• Cons
  • Improper use can lead to axillary nerve dysfunction
  • Can be painful and cause sore underarms, wrists, and hands

Forearm Crutches:

Forearm or elbow crutches consist of a cuff supporting the forearm and a grip on the wrist. The user must insert his hand into the cuff and hold the grip. These cuffs come in a variety of shapes to hold the hand securely. These crutches are suitable for long-term use and are safer than axillary ones.

• Pros
  • Easier to use on uneven terrain and stairs
  • Encourage proper posture
  • Typically more comfortable during use
• Cons
  • It can be more difficult to master
  • Require more upper body strength

When to use crutches?

Crutches help you recover from various short-term injuries or long-term conditions to help support your weight. You might use walking crutches as you recover from a:

• Stress fracture
• ACL injury or tear
• Achilles tendon injury
• Broken ankle
• Broken foot
• Sprained ankle
• Muscle strain
• Knee injury
• Hip dislocation
• Other leg injuries

How to use Crutches?

• Start with tripod position: stand on your good leg with your crutches about 1 foot in front of you and 4-6” to the side of either foot.
• Lean on crutch handles and move your body forward, including your affected leg (don’t let it touch the ground).
• Take a step forward with your weight-bearing foot.
• Now move your crutches out in front of you to the tripod position and repeat.
• Practice will make it smooth and easier.

Precautions

1. Remove rugs around your home or confirm they're secured so you don't trip.
2. Remove other clutter and confirm all cords are coiled up so you've got clear pathways.
3. Wear shoes with non-slip socks or soles; don't wear heels or shoes with slippery soles.
4. Please keep your floors dry and clean to avoid falls.
5. Inspect your crutch tips on a daily basis and replace them once they become worn down.

FAQ's

Frequently asked questions

What are the types of crutches available?

Types of crutches:

• Elbow crutches – These crutches can be adjusted in terms of floor-to-handgrip height and the distance between the cuff and the handgrip in case of double adjustable crutches. Single adjustable elbow crutches allow floor-to-handgrip height adjustment only.
• Axilla or underarm crutches – These crutches come with a single or double shaft, the height and the distance between the handgrip and the axilla pad are adjustable. Forearm crutches with gutter armrest – These crutches are specially designed for people who need to weight bear through the length of their forearm rather than their hand and wrist.

What are elbow crutches?

These are popular crutches that provide a single or double adjustment. They can be adjusted in terms of floor-to-handgrip height and the distance between the cuff and the handgrip in case of double adjustable crutches. Single adjustable elbow crutches allow floor-to-handgrip height adjustment only. Elbow crutches are available in two styles of cuff: open or closed. An open cuff is semi-circular in shape and provides a support to brace the forearm against in the step-through phase of walking. A closed cuff is an incomplete ring that prevents the forearm from slipping forwards out of place and holds the crutch on the arm. 

How are underarm crutches useful?

Underarm crutches are a great utility for those who cannot use the forearm crutches due to amputation or limited grip strength. These crutches come with a single or double shaft, the height and the distance between the handgrip and the axilla pad can be adjusted.

Who can use forearm crutches with gutter armrest?

Forearm crutches with gutter armrests are designed for people in need of weight bearing through the length of their forearm rather than their hand and wrist like those who experience pain in their hands or people with arthritis. The height of these forearm crutches can be adjusted and they consist of a trough or gutter armrest that supports and spreads the weight through forearms. For added convenience the length and angle of the handgrip can also be adjusted.

What are crutches made of?

The materials used to make crutches must be sturdy in order to efficiently manage the weight of the users. Crutches are mostly made of tough metals, like aluminium or steel-reinforced aluminium for heavy-duty use. Traditionally, some underarm crutches are still made of wood. Some metal crutches can have a coloured paint finish. It is necessary that all crutches are fitted with an appropriate ferrule. The ferrules of metal crutches must incorporate a metal ring so as to prevent the base of the crutch cutting into the rubber of the ferrule.

How to determine the correct height of crutches?

The height of the axilla crutches should be measured by standing in an upright position with appropriate supportive footwear. The underarm pad must fit under the armpit with two finger widths space above to ensure that no pressure is applied on the armpit while the crutches are in use. The adjustable handgrip can be set along the upright side of the crutches at a level where the protruding bone at the side of the wrist. The height of elbow crutches can be adjusted according to the user. The measurement is taken by lining up the handgrips with the wrist bone. Some models allow for the adjustment for the elbow cuff, which should cradle the forearm just below the elbow joint so that movement of the elbow is not impeded.
