Our Forearm Crutches (Pair) offer dependable support and comfort for people recovering from lower limb injuries or managing long-term mobility challenges. Also known as elbow crutches, these aids feature a closed cuff that wraps securely around the forearm to keep the crutch in place during use. This design allows for greater freedom of movement, especially when navigating stairs or uneven surfaces.
Constructed from lightweight but sturdy aluminium, the crutches are designed to carry up to 160 kg and can be easily adjusted to suit different user heights and arm lengths. The ergonomic hand grips reduce strain on the hands and wrists, making them ideal for extended daily use.
Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a disability, or need temporary mobility assistance, these crutches provide secure, reliable support that helps you move with more independence and confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What mobility aid is best if I have a leg injury and still need to keep my hands free?
If you're recovering from a leg injury and want more control than standard underarm crutches, a pair of forearm crutches is ideal. Their closed cuff design keeps them attached to your arms, so you can use your hands more easily without dropping the crutch.
How can I walk more comfortably with crutches during long-term recovery or disability?
These ergonomic Forearm Crutches provide palm-grip handles that reduce strain and pressure on your wrists. They help maintain balance and relieve pressure from the legs while keeping your posture aligned.
Are there crutches that adjust to my height and arm length?
Yes, these adjustable elbow Crutches feature independent settings for both cuff height and crutch length. You can tailor the fit to your height and arm position for optimal comfort and walking stability.
What’s the difference between underarm and elbow crutches for mobility support?
Forearm or elbow Crutches are lighter, less bulky, and allow for more natural arm movement. They’re ideal for longer-term use and provide more flexibility when moving indoors, outdoors, or navigating stairs.
Can I use elbow crutches if I have arthritis or joint pain?
Yes. These Crutches are designed with soft, ergonomic grips to ease hand fatigue and reduce wrist strain, making them suitable for people with arthritis or joint sensitivity.
Before you buy
- Check the weight rating. Pick a safe working load comfortably above the user's weight.
- Measure the space. Doorways, shower recesses and the gap beside the toilet decide what fits — use the measuring guide in Tools.
- Renting? Anything fixed to a wall needs the landlord's OK in writing.
- Funded? Keep the invoice — it is claim-ready for NDIS, DVA and Home Care Package. Check with your plan manager.
