You have been most likely sized and fitted for crutches when you received them. However, it is still a good idea to make sure your crutch pads and handgrips are set at the proper distance for you.1. The top of your crutches (crutch armrest pads) should reach to 1.5 to 2 inches (3-5 cm) from your underarm when you are standing upright. Use two of your fingers to help measure this.
2. Your elbows should be slightly bent (15-30 degrees) while grasping the hand grips, enough so you can extend your elbow when you take a step. You don’t want your elbows bent too much thoug, becasue you will be arrying much of your weight with your arms.
3. Hold the armrests of the crutches tightly to your side, squeezing the crutch covers with your arms and sides.
4. Use your arms and hands to hold your weight. Yes, this will take some work, rest when you need to.
5. Be careful, do not let the armrests of your crutches press into your underarms and do not rest your weight on them. Pressure in your underarm can damage the nerves that go down into your arms and hands.
6. It’s likely the tops of the crutches will rub some against your inner arm and your sides, possibly causing discomfort. You will need to make sure you use your arm strength to reduce the pressure and friction. Additional crutch covers or crutch pads can help.

The Crutch Pocket, a Handy Little Assistant
We designed our Crutch Pocket with your needs in mind. And, we’ve re-designed it several times due to customer suggestions, just to make sure we get it right.
This little bag hangs securely just below your hand grip, and helps you with all the little things you need to carry.
You know, your phone, your keys, your glasses, a bottle of water.
It’s not huge, this little helper, but that’s to keep you well-balanced and moving about with less risk.
In fact, many of our customers feel it is just right.
Like Susan from Tampa, Florida:
“Thank you! What a difference in comfort. Being on crutches is challenging enough without having to deal with the discomfort of using crutches.
Crutch Buddies are wonderful. Not only do I get around in “relative comfort”, but the pocket is fabulous.
Thank you! I have recommended them strongly! Take care and thank you!”
