The forearm support crutch is an ergonomically designed crutch with padded support for the forearm. The design distributes the load between the forearm and hand instead of concentrating it on the hand and wrist. The crutch features a height-adjustable frame made of black anodized aluminum, a shock-absorbing system, and a wide, flexible rubber foot. It is intended to provide support while walking and is sold individually.
Distributed load on arm and hand
The forearm support crutch has a platform where the forearm rests during use. The support helps to relieve the hand and wrist compared to a traditional crutch, where a larger portion of the load is borne by the handgrip. The ergonomic design helps the user keep the arm close to the body and allows for a more upright walking posture.
Shock-absorbing construction
The integrated shock absorption system is designed to reduce the impact transmitted to the shoulders when the crutch is placed on the ground. The crutch also has an ergonomic handle that provides a natural hand position in relation to the forearm.
Adjustable forearm support
The forearm support has a soft, replaceable, and washable padded section with a neoprene core, as well as layers of nylon and Velcro material. A flexible fastening strap holds the forearm in place. The length of the support can be adjusted in ten steps to adapt to the forearm.
Height adjustment and stable contact
The forearm support crutch has a telescopic aluminum tube with 17 height settings. The height can be adjusted between 96 and 121 cm. The wide and flexible rubber foot provides contact with the ground and can contribute to steadier support during movement.
Practical use
The fastening strap makes it possible to temporarily release the handle without needing to remove the crutch from the arm. Before use, check that the height settings are secure, the forearm support is correctly adjusted, and the rubber foot is in good condition. The assistive device should be used according to individual needs and given instructions.
Material and maintenance
The frame is made of black anodized aluminum. The forearm support has padding and a flexible fastening strap, while the tip against the floor consists of rubber. The padded section is replaceable and washable. Regularly check wear parts and replace damaged components if necessary.
