Medline Aluminum Forearm Crutches, Adult, Cuff Size 4", Pack of 2

Great crutches that holdup well and easy to use and travel well

My wife loves these

I'm a physical therapist who recently underwent hip surgery. As a result I have to be off my leg for 3 weeks (4 more days as of writing this) and I discovered after two days of clunky, hospital-issued crutches weren't worth my time or money. They were clunky and loud, woke up the whole family any time I walked anywhere, always managed to fall when I leaned them on something, and left my ribs raw and bruised, no matter how I adjusted them. As a result, I've come to the conclusion that if you're going to be on crutches longer than a few days and you don't get forearm (Lofstrand) crutches, you're a chump! Why? Well, first of all this design has a (relatively) closed cuff that is completely adjustable. That means that I could reach up and grab something while the crutch hung from my forearm (in a long sleeve shirt) or I could quickly slide my arms through them further so they hung on my upper arm (at my side really) while I reached up overhead. The cuffs also allow them to lean more easily on things, and because they are rubber coated, they have more friction. These crutches are pretty heavy-duty. Aluminum, with locking screws that prevent clunking and clacking, but I did have to get a wrench to loosen the cuff bolt slightly, so that they would swing a little easier. The tips are very grippy and soft. I've started to wear one side of them out, so I rotated the bottom of the crutch by pushing in the adjustment buttons and rotating. I walk extremely fast, and I've been hard on these crutches - standing and walking for 7 hours a day so far, with a 12 minute walk to and from my car - so I'm not surprised that the tips are showing a bit of wear already. The crutches overall are steady, safe, and designed well. I wish that the cuff width could be adjusted somewhat (although metal, they bend but do not stay) more for a more precise fit. Overall a really good, inexpensive, highly reliable product.

I really hope the seller read this. I'm a 6.2" amputee and use crutches for life. I'm well fit for my age (45) and height but finding crutches has become a nightmare lately in my country (Peru) as I haven't found these of my size that are also well built/long lasting. All I've found here are either too short, poor quality or made of some kind of plastic, which wont last long enough. This resulted on a posture problem for me and produced increasing shoulder and chest pain due to the effort and bad "lever" force I had to do with my arms with old, worn out and shorter crutches. I Did a research and coudn't actually find locally any to suit my needs. I decided to go ahead and look for something abroad and found these here. Had to pay almost double it's price due to shipping charges but I was desperate for a solution. After using these for a couple of days, shoulder pain almost dissapeared and now I find myself moving faster and having an overall much better posture. I can now go back to my daily exercise and try and get fit again. This is how big of an impact it had in my life. I really wish the seller can somehow join the "free shpping over USD50" program for Peru. I would definitely become a loyal customer and recommend these to all the amputee groups I'm member of. They're having the same problem as the seller that used to bring similar products here doesn't do it anymore or sell lower quality ones. Though I don't think they can afford USD 80 every two months but for the right price these would be an absolute must. All of this also made me think how limited of offers for amputees we're here in Peru even though we have some of the most solid economies in Latam. Hope there's a way to have your products here for the right price.

Sturdy construction, comfortable, and easy to adjust to the height you need.

Long story short: Don't buy these. Look out for the features listed. At least 1 of 2 to help protect you from the crutches. So you get what you pay for: forearm crutches. With forearm crutches, you lose the high bar that goes underneath your underarm which allows you to stand hands free and do stuff with your hands. Back to this product, it misses the mark on being a actual decent item that can save you from regular crutches. 1. CUFFS ARE CURSED! The top portion that wraps your forearm is not sizeable. They are able to also vertically swivel on a hinge and that leads to lack of stability as well. The 4" is very serious when it comes to buying the product. I have one arm that fits and the other arm, because it is not as developed, flops around in the cuff which leads to sideways wobble when I try to apply pressure. It might be my fault to by what should be a pair of fitting crutches. 2. HARD PLASTIC HANDLE DEATH TRAP. The first thing I want you to note is that they are not slip resistant. If you get water on them, you best also have a chance to dry them off before you shackle your arm to the cuff while falling forward when you slip off the handle. I have to inconveniently find a place to hold them still to wash my hands, which then means I lose my support, then I have to find a place to dry my hands because I can't trust the handles when wet. Don't even get me started on the rain and death gripping to make sure my hands are keeping the hand bars dry. Another note is that they are hard with little to no play in them. SO when you grip them, your hand has to be forced to comply with the awkward shape of the hand bars. They flange out which gives you the idea of someone thought about your safety but the execution was to save money. Consider your wrists and hands worked. Maybe go find a doctor at an urgent care, or your primary to size you up and provide you with something that won't cost your life.

Purchased these for my boyfriend after he got injured, and they worked great. They’re sturdy, easy to adjust, and provided the support he needed while recovering. Comfortable to use and held up well—definitely recommend if you need something reliable.

I ordered a pair of these to live at my office. (I also have another pair in my car) They are are heavy, I would not travel with them, they would be terrible to have to put in and take out of the car. <y other pair is a pair of Walk Easy I've had for 10+ years. My issue with them is that the cuff is open so if you let go of the hand grip they fall on the floor, where my other pair the cuff is almost fully closed so that I can let go of the hand grip and not have the crutch fall. This was not described in the item description and had I known I might not have bought these. They are strudy and easy to adjust for height (I am 5'4".)All in all they fit the bill and fit my price needs (OK so I used Amazon points to cover the cost).

Durables, ergomomicas y resistentes. Volvería a comprarlas

They are sturdy, very comfortable, light weight. They make me feel so secure.

These crutches are very good for my husband. He has very weak ankles.
