Elbow Crutches
User Instructions
Length Adjustment
When the crutch length is correct the user
should be able to maintain an upright
posture with the elbow slightly flexed.
In this way body weight is taken through
the crutch by pushing down on the crutch
when walking.
To adjust a crutch fitted with a pin clip, press the
two buttons in. Push the leg in and turn slightly.
Adjust the leg to the required position, then turn
and relocate, ensuring buttons are protruding
through the holes.
Usage
Walking
Where the affected leg cannot take any weight keep it off the
ground by holding it somewhat in front with the knee slightly bent
with arms through cuffs and gripping handles. Move the crutches
one pace forward, slightly apart and level then move the body
forwards between the crutches allowing the unaffected leg to
swing through.
Where the affected leg can take some weight move the crutches
one pace forward then place the affected leg on the ground with
the crutches, which will support some of the body weight.
Step through with the unaffected leg.
Getting up and sitting down
The crutch should be near the chair or held in one arm. Lean
forward, push up on one crutch and the opposite arm of the chair
to assist in standing. Once standing up ensure the arm is secure
inside the cuff.
When returning to the chair, turn round, feel the chair behind the
legs. Remove both arms from the crutches, hold them in one hand
or place them near the chair. Place hand(s) gently on the chair
arms, bend forward and lower gently into the chair.
Walking up and down stairs
Hold onto a handrail if at all possible. Hold the spare crutch
together with the handle of the remaining crutch. The crutch goes
on the same step as the affected leg. The unaffected leg should
lead when going upstairs, and the affected leg leads when
coming down.
SAFE USE OF CRUTCHES BEFORE USE
Please ensure the crutches are adjusted to the correct height and ensure all pins have locked in place
(you will hear a clicking noise) once the pins have fully protruded through the holes.
Please ensure there is no sign of wear and damage.
Please ensure the user does not exceed the max user weight stated.
