Why use Nusa Medic Elbow Crutches

Elbow Crutches can help you recover from leg injuries such as a fracture, surgery, sprain (over-stretching of the ligaments) or strain (over-stretching of muscles and tendons). By reducing the amount of weight placed on an affected leg, injuries can heal quicker and allow you to stay mobile. Sometimes crutches may be given to you for other injuries such as low back pain, particularly if you have pain or weakness in your legs.

How to use Elbow Crutches

1. Stand up. Fit the crutches in both arms.
2. Put both the crutches one step forward at equal distance from your body. Don’t put the crutches too far away from your body. To begin with, taking steps of 12 inches should be good.
3. Put your uninjured foot forward.
4. Press down on crutches and swing your body forward while taking your weight on forearms and crutches. As you swing, make sure that your injured foot is raised above the ground. Otherwise it may hit something in your way.
5. Maintain body balance at all the time. If maintaining balance is difficult or you don’t feel confident, reduce the distance of the next step. Balancing your body is the most important thing you need to learn while walking with forearm crutches.
