Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I choose the right type of crutch for my needs?
The right type of crutch depends on your specific mobility requirements, physical condition, and personal preferences. Underarm crutches are generally recommended for short-term use, while forearm crutches are suitable for long-term use and provide more stability. Platform crutches are designed for individuals with limited hand strength or grip issues.
How do I properly adjust my crutches for a comfortable fit?
To adjust your crutches, ensure that the handgrip is at wrist level when your arm is hanging by your side. There should be a slight bend in your elbow when you grip the handle. For underarm crutches, the top should be about 1-2 inches below your armpit while standing upright.
How often should I replace the tips of my crutches?
Crutch tips should be replaced when they show signs of wear or become damaged to maintain optimal grip and stability. The frequency of replacement depends on the usage and the surface on which the crutches are used. Regularly inspect your crutch tips and replace them as needed.
Are there any accessories available to enhance the comfort of my crutches?
Yes, we offer various accessories to improve your crutch experience, such as padding for the handgrips and underarm supports, as well as non-slip crutch tips. These accessories can help alleviate pressure and provide additional stability during use.
