The Drive Medical Adult Forearm Crutches provide comfortable, stable mobility support for adults recovering from injury, managing chronic conditions, or requiring long-term walking assistance. Built with lightweight yet durable aluminum tubing, these crutches weigh just 2.5 lbs per pair while offering a heavy-duty 300 lb weight capacity.
Featuring an ergonomic Ortho K hard plastic handle and vinyl-coated arm cuffs, these crutches distribute weight evenly to reduce wrist strain and forearm fatigue. The leg and forearm sections feature independent push-button height adjustments for a precise, customized fit. Extra-large, slip-resistant rubber tips provide optimal traction and stability across indoor and outdoor surfaces.
Key Benefits & Features
- Independent Adjustment: Leg and forearm sections adjust separately to accommodate various height and arm-length requirements.
- Ergonomic Comfort: Ortho K hard plastic hand grips paired with vinyl-coated, contoured arm cuffs ensure superior support and reduced fatigue.
- Enhanced Traction: Extra-large rubber crutch tips maintain secure contact with floor surfaces to prevent slipping.
- Durable & Lightweight: Strong aluminum construction supports up to 300 lbs while weighing only 2.5 lbs.
How to Adjust & Use
- Adjust Height: Depress the push buttons on the leg extensions to set overall height so hand grips align with your wrist crease. Adjust the upper forearm cuff section so the cuff sits approximately 1 to 2 inches below your elbow bend.
- Verify Fit: Ensure all push buttons fully engage and protrude through alignment holes on both crutches before bearing weight.
- Walking Technique: Place crutches shoulder-width apart, slide forearms into cuffs, grasp the Ortho K handles securely, and step through while maintaining a stable, balanced gait.
