Crutches
Standing Up
• Make sure that the chair is secure. If using a wheelchair, ensure that the
brakes are on.
• Move forward until seated at the edge of the chair. Place the stronger foot
on the floor.
• Hold the crutches by the hand grips in the hand on the injured side.
• Push up from the chair with the stronger leg, keeping the head well forward.
• When upright, place a crutch under each arm.
How Do I Care for the Crutches?
• Clean the hand grips with a mild soap, detergent or household cleaner. Do
not use solvents such as acetone, lacquer thinner, or turpentine.
• Periodically check the rubber tips for rips, tears, cracks or worn tread. If any
of these conditions exist, replace.
