Elbow Clutches

                 Elbow Clutches

Elbow crutches, are a type of mobility aid designed for individuals who need support while walking but require more stability and control than traditional underarm crutches provide. Unlike standard crutches that rest under the armpit, elbow crutches are designed to fit around the forearm, with a cuff that wraps around the forearm and a handle for grip. These crutches are often used by individuals who have long-term mobility impairments or those recovering from injury or surgery.

Key Features of Elbow Crutches:

1. Forearm Cuff:

   • The defining feature of elbow crutches is the forearm cuff that wraps around the forearm, providing extra support and stability. This cuff keeps the crutch in place and helps distribute the user’s weight more evenly.

2. Adjustable Height:

   • Most elbow crutches are height-adjustable, allowing users to customize the length to suit their height and ensure proper posture and comfort.

3. Ergonomic Handle:

   • The handle is typically made of rubber or foam and is designed for a comfortable grip. It helps reduce hand fatigue and provides better control during use.

4. Lightweight Design:

   • Elbow crutches are generally lightweight, often made from durable materials like aluminum, which makes them easy to use over long periods without causing strain.

5. Non-Slip Tips:

   • The bottom of each crutch is equipped with a rubber, non-slip tip that provides grip and stability on various surfaces, reducing the risk of slips and falls.

6. Durability:

   • Elbow crutches are built to last, with durable construction designed for long-term use. Some models may feature reinforced areas for added strength.

7. More Stability:

   • Unlike underarm crutches, elbow crutches offer more stability and can provide a more natural gait, making them easier to use for individuals with long-term mobility challenges
