Adjustable Height & Cuff: Most models allow for height adjustment of the shaft and the position of the forearm cuff to suit the user’s arm length, ensuring proper support.
Ergonomic Design: Handles are often molded for comfort (anatomical grips) to spread pressure across the palm, reducing hand strain.
Forearm Cuff: A plastic or metal cuff (often hinged/open-cuff) wraps around the forearm, allowing the user to bear weight without solely relying on grip strength.
Lightweight & Durable Material: Commonly made from anodized aluminum or carbon fiber to ensure the crutches are strong yet easy to lift.
Non-Slip Rubber Ferrules: Tips are made of rubber to provide traction and stability on various surfaces.
Weight Capacity: Designed to support varying user weights, often up to 130kg or more, depending on the material.
Gutter Options: Some specialized models feature padded, trough-shaped armrests for users who cannot bear weight through their wrists.
