Forearm Crutches
This helps in walking comfortably with less pressure and is helpful for long 
term usage. A forearm crutch has one long leg with a handgrip and a cuff 
that fits in your arm for support. The forearm crutches provide a 
comfortable walking by just using 40% of the body weight and are 
designed for extra support. The forearm crutches are available in different 
designs and provide support for people with less mobility or with no 
mobility at all. They are available with open or closed cuffs; the crutch is 
caught with a cuff and usually doesn't fall off the ground. 
A hands-free crutch is for people who find it 
difficult to put weight on injured wounds. The 
crutch has one tip attached to a platform with 
straps and a cuff. The cuff is fitted around the 
thighs and provides support to the leg. One 
should keep in mind while walking with hands-
free crutches that it needs the right balance 
while walking.
Hands-free 
Crutches
Platform 
Crutches
These crutches were originally designed for 
patients with both a partial weight-bearing injury 
and an impaired grip. Sometimes known as 
arthritic crutches or forearm crutches, their 
signature feature is a padded forearm support 
made of metal, a strap, and an adjustable hand 
grip. The forearm padding allows the user to 
distribute their weight across a greater surface 
area, relieving the pressure on their hand grip. 
This is especially useful for those with 
Rheumatoid disease.
Leg Support 
Crutches
These are like a knee scooter where the 
affected leg is strapped into a support 
frame on wheels. Leg support crutches 
are particularly useful for below the 
knee injuries or postoperatively after 
below-the-knee surgery that affects one 
leg only.
