Height Adjustable Aluminum Forearm Crutches - 1 Pair
Traditional underarm crutches can cause severe nerve compression during long rehabilitation periods. Elbow Forearm Crutches distribute weight safely through the forearms and wrists, making them the superior choice for long-term mobility recovery. Whether managing a permanent physical impairment or recovering from orthopedic leg surgery in Tanzania, these crutches provide enhanced agility, improved posture, and safe movement across various terrains.
How to Use / Operate
Slip your forearm through the molded cuff and grasp the handle firmly. Adjust the height pin so the handle aligns with your wrist crease and the cuff sits 1-2 inches below your elbow joint. Move the crutches in sync with your weaker leg.
