Frequently Asked Questions
Are these sold as a pair?

What is the user weight capacity?
These crutches are tested to support up to 308 lb (140 kg) under EN ISO 11199-1.
What height range do they adjust to?
Handle-to-floor height adjusts from 30–39 in (76–99 cm). Ensure buttons fully engage in the adjustment holes.
How much does each crutch weigh?
Each crutch weighs less than 1.15 lb (0.52 kg), helping reduce fatigue during daily use.
Is the forearm cuff adjustable?
The cuff opening is fixed and not adjustable. If you need more clearance, consult your clinician for fit assessment.
Can I lengthen the handle or change its angle?
The handle is fixed at a 4 in (10.2 cm) length with an ergonomic shape. Some users add optional grip covers or gloves for extra cushioning.
Are these easier to use than underarm crutches?
Many users report improved comfort, posture, and maneuverability with forearm crutches. Your experience may vary—follow your clinician’s guidance and practice proper technique.
Are they suitable for older adults?
Many older adults use forearm crutches successfully; however, some may find the technique challenging at first. A physical therapist can help determine fit and provide training.
Do the tips make noise?
An anti-noise cup helps reduce contact noise. Replace tips if worn and avoid dragging to maintain quiet performance.
Can I use just one crutch like a cane?
Some users choose to use one crutch, but gait selection should be determined by your clinician based on your balance and weight-bearing status.
Where are these crutches made?
They are made in France with high-quality materials and tested to EN ISO 11199-1.
How do I adjust the height if the buttons feel tight?
Press both buttons firmly and align the holes carefully. New hardware can feel snug initially; ensure full engagement before use.
Will my hands or forearms sweat on longer walks?
Some users notice perspiration with plastic surfaces in warm conditions. Breathable gloves or wraps can improve comfort.
What surfaces are safe to use these on?
Use on dry, even surfaces. Take extra care on wet, slick, or uneven ground. Replace worn tips to maintain traction.
