Quick guide

Choosing forearm crutches

The short answer

Forearm crutches have a cuff around your forearm and a handgrip, so you lean on your hands and arms, not your underarms. In Canada they are often called Canadian crutches, and some people call them elbow crutches.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between forearm and underarm crutches?

Underarm crutches rest under the arm and are common for a short recovery. Forearm crutches have a cuff and a handgrip, and many people use them for walking every day. See all canes and crutches.

How much weight do they hold?

The Ossenberg Classic holds 310 lb and the heavy duty Ossenberg BIG XL holds 330 lb. The Drive steel forearm crutches hold 300 lb, and the Ossenberg KIDDY for children holds 220 lb.

What is an open cuff or a closed cuff?

An open cuff is a half ring you can slip your arm out of quickly. A closed cuff wraps all the way around, so the crutch stays on your arm when you open your hand. The Ossenberg Classic has an open cuff and the BIG XL a closed cuff.
