          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.
