Forearm Crutch - For walking with less wrist strain
€11,70
€13,00
Anyone who has used standard crutches knows that after a while, the wrists start to hurt and the hands get tired. This crutch is different because it distributes the weight along the entire forearm, not just through the hand. It is like the difference between carrying a heavy bag with only your fingers or supporting it with your entire arm—the strain is much less. The joint in the support allows you to adjust the angle, which keeps the arm in a more natural position while walking. For those who need to use crutches for weeks or months, this small detail makes a big difference in daily comfort and fatigue.
When it may make sense

- For those with arthritis in their hands or wrists who cannot bear to put strain on those joints.
- During recovery from a stroke, when you need more stability while walking.
- If you have weak legs but want to keep walking instead of using a wheelchair.
