Crutches For Sale - Elbow & Forearm in the UK

Crutches are essential mobility aids that provide support, balance, and stability for individuals recovering from injuries or surgery. Whether you're dealing with a sprain, fracture, or other leg injury, the right pair of crutches can help you get moving safely and confidently during the healing process.

 

Types of crutches

 

At Mobility2You, we offer a wide selection of crutches for sale, including forearm crutches and underarm crutches. In this guide, we’ll explore the different types of crutches available and the key things to consider when looking to buy crutches online.


 Underarm Crutches

Forearm crutches  

What they are

  • Underarm crutches (also known as axillary crutches) are a trusted choice for those recovering from upper leg or knee injuries. They are commonly recommended for short-term mobility assistance and feature.
  • Also referred to as elbow crutches, these are ideal for users who need long-term mobility support or have injuries below the knee. 

Advantages

  • Padded Underarm Supports: Designed to reduce pressure and provide added comfort during extended use.

  • Adjustable Hand Grips: Helps ensure the right fit and ease of use for walking.

  • Height Customisation: Most underarm crutches come with adjustable height settings to suit users of different statures.

  • Cuff Support: Wraps around the forearm for improved stability and reduced upper body fatigue.

  • Ergonomic Hand Grips: Provide a firm hold and reduce wrist strain.

  • Improved Balance: Forearm crutches offer greater control for navigating stairs and uneven surfaces.

 

Disavantages

  • Discomfort with extended use: Pressure under the armpits can cause chafing, irritation, or even nerve compression.

  • Poor posture risk: Incorrect use may lead to slouching or unnatural body alignment.

  • Limited maneuverability: They're less agile for tight spaces or stairs.

  • Less suitable for long-term use: Better for short-term recovery rather than long-term support.

  • Require better balance and core strength: Not ideal for users with poor coordination or trunk control.

  • Steeper learning curve: They can be harder to get used to for first-time users.

  • Less supportive for weak arms or hands: Offer less surface contact compared to underarm types.

  • Slightly higher cost: Generally more expensive than basic underarm crutches.

What to Consider When You Buy Crutches

Choosing the right crutches or walking aid depends on your condition, comfort needs, and lifestyle. Here’s what to look out for:

  • Injury Type: Different crutches serve different purposes. For example, a sprained ankle may only require elbow crutches, while a broken femur might need underarm support.

  • User Mobility: Think about whether you need support for short walks indoors or extended outdoor use.

  • Comfort Features: Look for features like padded grips, underarm cushions, or ergonomic handles.

  • Weight Capacity: Make sure the crutches can support your body weight safely.

  • Durability & Material: Our crutches are made from high-quality materials, such as aluminium, for a combination of lightweight use and strength.

  • Safety Considerations: Non-slip tips, sturdy frames, and secure locking mechanisms are a must for preventing slips and falls.

FAQS

Most of our crutches are height-adjustable. You should select one that allows your elbow to bend slightly (about 15–30 degrees) when holding the grip.

Absolutely. Most crutches have non-slip rubber tips suitable for various surfaces, but for outdoor use, you may consider crutches with shock-absorbing features.

Yes, many of our models are designed for long-term use and comfort, with ergonomic handles and durable materials.

 

Do I need a doctor’s recommendation to buy crutches?

No prescription is needed to purchase crutches from us, but if you have specific medical needs, we recommend speaking with a healthcare professional.

 

Can I try different crutches before buying?
