Adjustable Adult Forearm Crutches with Turning Arm Cuffs - Lightweight Mobility Support for Injury Recovery, Surgery Rehabilitation & Elderly Assistance - Perfect for Daily Use, Travel & Physical Therapy

I have an issue with my nerves which took away my ability to use my feet, and walk without assistance. I walked around with braces and two canes, but I would still find myself tripping. My wife bought me these and now I feel much more stable. I've had two issues with them. First was using them from a sitting to standing position. Once you learn how to do it that issue goes away. Second is if you walk through water with them and don't dry the rubber off, then walk onto a smooth surface they will slip on you. I'm still working on a permanent solution for this one. I highly recommend these for anyone that has difficulty walking.These Days forearm crutches are strong and comfortable. They're sturdy and quiet with no rattles, and are more comfortable and with better control than underarm crutches. They are well worth buying. I particularly like the turning arm cuffs - it's very convenient to be able to lift an arm to turn off a wall light switch and have them stay on your arm. Also, I like that the spring-loaded buttons have adjustment holes on both sides of the shaft - if the button support ever starts to feel wobbly I can thread a screw with a wingnut in the holes to prevent collapse under weight. Very nice! I'm only temporarily disabled but I'd buy these again.I do have a separate set of underarm crutches I use for wearing bulky clothing, like heavy sweaters and coats if I have trouble sliding though the forearm crutches cuffs, but that's not often.I bought these for a family member that has MS. He couldn’t say enough great things about the crutches. Says they are the best set he’s had since he was diagnosed 15 years ago!These crutches are extremely good and sturdy. I was shocked wiyh disbelief as to how lightweight they are and i was very apprehensive if they will last. Indeed they did.... and did SO well !!! I ordered two pairs, since my crutches break so often (I use them on a daily basis due to lower extremity disability). I weigh about 140lbs and they can hold my weight well. I like that they have plastic cuffs so they don't stick to my skin (unlike the Drive brand crutches). The handle has a non-slip texture so grips well. It still hasn't started making rattling noise yet, which most crutches do after few months of use. However, I will put a caveat here that I don't put ALL my bodyweight on them - my feet also bears partial weight, so these crutches are strong enough for me. If you need something more heavy duty that can tolerate more weight, go with Drive brand Bariatric crutches.Work greatThese crutches was exactly what my elderly dad needed to help with his balance. He refused to use a cane because he’d drop it but this stays on his arm and keeps him safe from falling!Durable, tough tips. I am 6 feet three inches tall. That looks to be about the limit. I am using these every day to get around and they show minimal wear so far. replacement tips are easily available.Nice crutches. I feel safe
