Under Arm Crutches

Underarm Crutches Overview

Underarm Crutches, also known as axillary crutches, are mobility aids designed to help individuals with temporary or long-term lower limb injuries or disabilities move safely and independently. They are typically used when one or both legs are weak or injured, offering support, balance, and weight offloading.

Key Features

  • Underarm Support Pads: Padded axillary rests that fit under the arms to distribute body weight comfortably.
  • Handgrips: Positioned halfway down the crutch for gripping and weight transfer through the hands and arms.
  • Height Adjustable:
    • Overall crutch height and handgrip position can be adjusted to suit user height (usually fits users from 4’6” to 6’6”).
  • Durable Frame: Made of lightweight aluminum or steel, offering both strength and portability.
  • Non-slip Rubber Tips (Ferrules): Provide traction and stability on various surfaces.

  • Often used during post-operative rehabilitation

✅ Benefits

  • Provides strong support and stability
  • Lightweight and easy to transport
  • Ideal for short- to medium-term mobility assistance
  • Encourages faster recovery by keeping weight off the injured limb

Proper Usage Tips

  1. Correct Height: The top of the crutch should be 2–3 finger widths below the armpit when standing upright.
  2. Handgrip Level: Should allow for a 15–30° bend at the elbow.
  3. Weight Transfer: Do not rest body weight on the armpits—this can lead to nerve damage. Instead, support yourself through the hands and arms.
  4. Walking Pattern:
    • Non-weight-bearing: Move both crutches forward, then swing the unaffected leg through.
    • Partial weight-bearing: Move crutches and injured leg together, then step with the stronger leg.
