Medline Aluminum Forearm Crutches for Mobility Support and Stability

Parmesan: These are decent for the price. The arm cuffs are huge and the handles very hard. With cuff straps and handle pads, they become almost comfortable. Without the cuff straps, the stability of these is compromised. My arms constantly come out of the cuffs mid stride and the crutches become very wobbly.

MaKenna: I’m not sure if I got defective ones or not, but the cuffs always require some tightening for me to be even remotely stable again. What I mean by them being loose is they flop, and with them being floppy I don’t get the support I need. An accident I was in left me wobbly and unable to stand without leaning on something to walk. Every time I’m out and about I ALWAYS need to carry a tool of some sort to tighten the cuffs. Even my physical therapist is puzzled as to why this is happening. Aside from that, these are wonderful to have! I can get around a lot easier, albeit a bit slower but that’s alright. I would give more stars but the looseness of the cuffs are what really tips the scales. Thanks!

Elle: It's enough for me to be happy with my purchase to just be given some mobility and independence back, but while my knees don't hurt as bad, there's some knew pains involved in using the crutches. the back of my arms are raw and my palms have blisters forming. nothing that some foam tape and new handles wouldn't fix. I am 5' and ordered the youth size. it's not the worst fit

Rose Mary: Product great but one of crutches was stuck & hard to extend & rubber tips come off easily at use & can be dangerous if one or both come off while crossing the street because one tends to bend down to retrieve it & a car could be turning as what happened to my grandchild, the user.

Kelly: After finding out I needed hip surgery and my usual underarm crutches were leaving bruses I looked into forarm crutches but biggest issue is weight limits, I'm 5'9" and 280lbs but I took the risk and have no regrets, now ONLY issue I've found was the hand grips are very hard so needed some padding to help but past that these are great

L. Smith: The Medline aluminum forearm crutches are heavier than my current aluminum forearm crutches. However, they were easy to adjust and will be OK for shorter distances.

George Williams: UPDATE: So I've had my forearm crutches for a few years now, and I still couldn't be happier with them. Like I mentioned wanting to do in my original review (below), I have purchased a second pair. I noticed that the thickness of the soles of my shoes made a real difference in how I set the adjustable height of these crutches. I'm mostly barefoot in the house, but when I go outside I wear running shoes (for their thick impact-absorbing sole that makes walking easier on my back). Since the soles of the shoes are nearly an inch thick, it only made sense to adjust my crutches an extra inch every time I put my shoes on. And while these crutches can certain do that, I just found it more convenient to order a second pair, and keep them at that "higher" setting. So I use my original pair of crutches when I'm barefoot, and use my new pair when I'm wearing shoes. It really seems to make a difference for me. Plus, I like the piece of mind of having a second pair, in case anything happens to the first pair (not that I've had any trouble from my crutches, but when you're talking about your ability to walk, it's better to be safe than sorry). I still have no regrets about my purchase. And the...
