ELBOW CRUTCHES

Please read all instructions before use.

A full assessment of the user’s specific requirements is needed before 

selecting crutches. A number of different gaits or walking patterns can 

be used depending on the individual, and it is therefore important that

adequate support and consequently, safety, is achieved.
A physiotherapist should advise on the most appropriate walking 

pattern when using crutches.
