Forearm crutches are also known as elbow crutches or Canadian crutches.  There are 3 styles of cuff available at Chic-Aid


Comfort cuff

Elbow crutches offer more support than half cuff crutches and give similar support to that offered by full cuff crutches.


Full cuff

This is the style of crutch that most people are familiar with. This style crutch is most commonly used by the NHS.


Half cuff

Crutches with a half cuff offer less support than full cuff but greater than a walking stick.  Great if you are fed up of buttons being pulled off the cuffs of your clothes, or sleeves being ruined when putting your arm through full cuff crutches.

Coloured Comfort Crutches


Comfort cuff elbow crutches provide more support for your arm, while being less restrictive for your clothes. Height adjustable comfort cuff crutches are available in 2 styles and 14 colours:

  • Style
  • Ellipse

Style have a black cuff and 14 colours.

Ellipse


Ellipse designer half cuff crutches demonstrate the design and creativity that can go in to crutches!


The Ellipse crutches get their name from the unique elliptical shape of the tube.


Like the Style crutches, they too, have comfort half cuffs in black.


Not only are they available in the usual choice of colours, but they have an additional flash of  colour at the top of the stick and on the handle in a choice of colour from red, yellow, blue and mint green.


The second colour doesn't only serve an aesthetic purpose; The band at the top of the crutch is made of a non-slip material, enabling the crutch to be rested against a table or similar object.


The handle is shaped in such a way that the crutch can be safely rested against a wall against the coloured triangle at the back of the handle.
