Elbow crutches suit people who will be weight bearing through their arms for weeks or months. They carry a high user weight rating, so they are a sensible option for larger clients.
The anatomic grip is shaped to the palm, which spreads load across the whole palm. That matters for anyone with wrist pain, arthritis or a long rehabilitation ahead, where sore hands are usually what stops people using their crutches properly.
The cuff supports the forearm so the person can let go briefly to open a door or take something from a bench without putting the crutch down.
