Forearm crutches suit a person who needs ongoing support through their walking pattern over months or years. The Alpha CR-F has an aluminium frame and adjusts in two places: handle to floor, and handle to the top of the elbow cuff.
That second adjustment is what lets you set the cuff where it belongs on the forearm for your client’s arm length, which keeps the wrist in a neutral position and stops the cuff riding at the elbow crease. The handgrips are shaped to spread load across the palm, which matters for someone who will be loading their hands every day and has hand pain or arthritis.
They come in three sizes across youth to tall adult, adjust by push button, and have slip resistant rubber tips with dual silencers so they are quiet indoors. The frame is light enough to manage on stairs and in and out of a car.
