Underarm Crutches

 Underarm Crutches (Axilla / Axillary Crutches):

These are the most common crutch type. These models can be easily adjusted to the height and the arm length of the individuals. They are quite suitable for short-term disabilities like knee injuries, sprains, and post-op surgical recovery. Little training is required to use them, and they are inexpensive as well. Correct size and fit are necessary as an improper fit can affect the muscles and nerves of the underarms

How to Fit and Use Crutches Safely?

Before using crutches, it is better to consult your physician or physiotherapist to ensure their proper usage. This includes proper positioning and sizing. By properly setting up the crutches, you are less likely to cause damage to the vessels and nerve bundles in the arms or hands. Some basic steps to follow for getting a good fit is as follows:

For Underarm Crutches

1.    Stand tall with your shoes on. It is better to use shoes with flat soles.

2.    Put the crutches under your arms and keep a 2-inch space below your armpit when standing straight.

3.    The handgrips should be parallel to your hips with the elbow slightly bent (about 30 degrees). This ensures wider mobility.

4.    Use your hands to absorb the weight rather than leaning on your armpits. If you lean, there can be substantial damage to the brachial plexus, and this can hamper the functionality of your arm.
