Usage Suggestions

When choosing forearm crutches, the height and physical strength of the user also need to be considered. Adjusting the height of the cane and choosing the appropriate length is the key to ensuring the safety of the user and maximizing the functionality of the cane.

People with complete paralysis of the lower limbs and who must wear knee, ankle and foot orthoses can walk with two axillary crutches. Patients with complete paralysis of one lower limb can choose to walk with a single axillary crutch. Patients with incomplete paralysis of the lower extremities can choose axillary crutches or elbow crutches based on the remaining muscle strength of the lower extremities. Generally speaking, standard axillary crutches are used first during training. If the user can stand up and walk by holding the handles of the armpit crutch with both hands, they can use the elbow crutch. When the strength of the upper limb muscles weakens, for instance, when the triceps brachii weakens, the supporting force of the elbow will decrease. At this time, a triceps brachii support crutch is needed. When the stability of the elbow joint is poor, axillary crutches or elbow crutches supported by the forearm can be used. When the strength of the wrist extensor muscles is weak and the stability of the wrist joint is poor, elbow crutches or axillary crutches can be used in combination with wrist joint fixation straps. When the elbow joint cannot be straightened due to flexion and contraction, one can choose to use a cane supported by the forearm.

Instructions for Correct Use

For those who use forearm crutches, it is crucial to master the correct grip height, maintain the correct standing and walking postures, and make reasonable use of the support. If you hold it too low for a long time, it can lead to a hunched back. If you hold it too high, it will become difficult to go up and down steps or stairs.

Of course, how to confirm the correct height? First, stand straight, hold the cane, bend your elbow at 30 degrees, and bend your wrist back at about 30 degrees. Position the foot pads of your walking stick 15 centimeters in front of your toes and at a right Angle to the outside. Or stand straight, with the height of the walking stick being the same as that of the greater trochanter (the protruding part of the joint).

The way to determine the height of the crutch is to stand up, place the crutch under the armpit, and keep a distance of 3 to 4 centimeters (2 fingers wide) from the armpit. Place the foot pad of the armpit crutch 15 centimeters in front of your toes and at a right Angle to the outside. Bend your elbow joint about 30 degrees and keep the handle at the same height as the large rotor.

Features

The comfortable handle fits the hand shape, is soft and comfortable, and is less likely to cause fatigue. The armpit pad design reduces discomfort. The product is made of aluminum alloy and thickened pipes, which is lightweight and durable. The bottom of walking crutches features an excellent anti-slip rubber foot pad design, which increases friction and reduces the risk of falls. More than 9 adjustment holes can be freely adjusted in length.
