Elbow Crutch Stick / Forearm Crutch / Lofstrand Crutch
The Elbow Crutch Stick (also known as a Forearm or Lofstrand Crutch) is a mobility aid designed for long-term use by individuals who require partial weight bearing or support while walking, but who have sufficient upper body strength and balance. Unlike axillary (underarm) crutches, the weight and support are distributed through the hand and forearm, utilizing an open cuff that encircles the forearm just below the elbow. This design offers several advantages, including greater maneuverability, a more natural gait, and the ability to momentarily free the hand for tasks without dropping the crutch. They are typically adjustable in two places—forearm cuff height and overall length—to ensure a precise, ergonomic, and comfortable fit tailored to the user’s physique.
-
Forearm Cuff Support: Features a rigid or flexible cuff that secures the crutch to the forearm, providing control and stability while allowing the user to bear weight primarily on the wrist/hand.
-
Ergonomic Design: Promotes a more natural, efficient walking pattern (gait) compared to standard axillary crutches, reducing strain on the shoulders and back.
-
Dual Adjustability: Offers separate height adjustments for both the overall crutch length and the height of the forearm cuff, ensuring a precise and custom fit for optimal posture and comfort.
-
Increased Independence: The secured forearm cuff allows the user to temporarily release the handle (e.g., to open a door or reach for an object) without dropping the crutch.
-
Durable & Lightweight: Constructed typically from high-grade aluminum, offering robust support while remaining lightweight for easy, long-term daily use.
-
Safety Tips: Fitted with durable, non-slip rubber ferrules (tips) on the bottom to provide maximum traction and stability on varied floor surfaces.
-
Comfort Hand Grip: Designed with contoured, comfortable hand grips to reduce pressure and friction, which is essential for users who rely on the crutches for extended periods.
