Types Of Crutches
There are three main types of crutches to choose from, the ones you will find most comfortable will depend on your situation.
- Underarm or axillary crutches, best for short term use, they are easiest for those who have never had crutches before. However, underarm crutches are known to lead to poor posture.
- Forearm crutches, better for long term use, they can take a little longer to learn how to use. They promote better posture and maneuverability.
- Gutter crutches, ideal for those with arthritic conditions, gutter crutches distribute weight through the forearms.
Modern crutches come in a variety of colours and tend to be made from lightweight titanium. They are able to be fully adjusted to ensure ease of use and maximum comfort.
