OrthoStix Hot Pink Foldable Adult Forearm Crutches Adjustable 4-inch Full Cuff

The media could not be loaded. These forearm crutches are much better than the typical medical ones provided by this nursing home I am in. I am young and wild at heart, only in my 30's, suffering from a botched back surgery. My 1st surgery in October, they left behind bone fragments that cut away at my intestine, bladder, and left leg nerves leaving my knee incapable of holding any weight. I had to get an ankle to thigh locking joint brace in order to have any hopes of walking again, but I needed some sort of support along with it. I'm too young to want to use a walker, under arm crutches wouldn't allow use of my hands in a store or anything without seeing the crutch. So forearm crutches were the best choice. Once I started using them, I got out of the wheelchair after 4 horrible months and a 2nd surgery with a 3rd around the corner. The crutches here in the nursing home could fit both arms in one cuff and are plain grey and silver. These ones fit with enough room for the paddings I have purchased for extra comfort. The cuffs on these also move up and down allowing me to use my arms freely, which is a huge benefit! The hot pink color is amazing! And the hand grips... A whole different story! They are this amazingly comfortable rubber somehow shaped and conformed to your hand perfectly! I won't even use the pushing that came with the cuff pads. These are the best hand grips that could've been made and placed on these crutches.~And now I'm left with reviewing this company... As soon as I ordered these and seen the shipping date was for the day before my Gramma's memorial and ash spreading. My first day out of the nursing home and unable to take the wheelchair. So I was depending on these crutches. We all know that shipping can change day to day and always come early or even late. So I panicked and contacted the seller asking about making sure I get them before this day. They VERY QUICKLY got back to me. Apologized for my loss... And assured me they would do everything they could to get them to me as soon as they could and they shipped them that day being it was the last thing my Gramma said to me... "Keep your head up, you will walk again!" So all I wanted was to be able to walk that day. Well, that day is tomorrow... And I received these 2 days ago. Plenty of time to adjust them to my size, do some therapy with them to adjust to using a slightly different setup as the others, and I was able to do even more walking with them being the amazing design and handgrips and the plain ole comfort of them! I thank you so much! And I'm sure my Gramma will thank you too from the other side!*If anyone has any doubts about buying these... Don't! It'll be the best but and best decision you can make for yourself or for a loved one!❤️ 💜 💖

Really love these I had hip surgery and these were sturdy and did not hurt at all or leave me sore. Color is pretty and they are good quality they also stay on my arm and don’t fall off. I also love that it has a L for left and R for right crutch. Can also use it singly when I’m more sturdy on my feet. I’m 5’3 165lb.

I have mild spastic/ataxic cerebral palsy and got these to help more with posture than walking. They make an instant difference. I stand up beautifully straight without any extra effort at all. I also wobble a lot less when I walk, and they give me much more stability and speed when walking outside at night. As an added bonus, the purple is gorgeous, and my cats love them.

I have had to use these for an awhile now. I am an OT and have lupus. I fatigue out on trips where I am standing for too long or walking. My muscles are spent and I can’t support my self without assistance . I have a folding cane and that works nicely on short trips but when we go on long day outings I really need the extra support, and these are perfect. The hand grips are nice to distribute the pressure to a larger hand surface, but could use some extra padding like a gel or memory pad. These fold down to 19.5 inches if you take out the bottom post, and then fold the top post into two. I also swapped out the forearm cuffs to my old one because that’s just me and my preference. Nothing wrong with the ones they come with. I just wanted metal ones. I found that the Herschel little America back pack 30L holds them fabulously, as it’s 21 inches tall. I’m 5’3’ and weigh 150 for reference. All in all it works great for me and I love that I can take them with me on vacations in my carry on suitcase, and on long day trips in my back pack.

The handles are super ergonomic and make "non weight bearing" an absolute breeze. The purple color is super fun too. Would recommend.

Worked very well, very sturdy but clicked some. overall, worked very well

UPDATE: increased review from 1 star to 5 stars. I was able to get a replacement and then send back the broken one while using the good one in the meantime. Now that that has been taken care of the item itself works great. I only use the left one for now as recommended by my physical therapist and it helps my balance greatly. I am able to use this product and am able to feel safe walking again. I recommend this product if you are looking for a reliable walking aid.The right one broke upon assembly. One of the buttons came off when pressed on to assemble it and the button is stuck inside the stick. Luckily I only really need the left one. I would return for a working pair, but I need the left one right now and can’t wait for a replacement set. Kind of a waste of money if only one is functional.

Got these for the portability before a big trip. Thankfully I have tools with me. Because they broke in several ways.The elastic that holds them together broke the second time I pulled them apart.The spring loaded detent pin on one broke the third time.And the swivel cuffs are FAR too large and NOT moldable. At 230lbs, mostly upper body, my forearms were NOT snug. Which defeats the ENTIRE purpose of swivel cuffs.Again, handy AND travel with tools. Or I would have been in big trouble.
