Dear Steve,

Would you ba able to advise if the forearms of the crutch is ‘width’ adjustable as I need to wear a thick overcoat in order to protect myself from the cold.

well i use forearm crutches for 21 years now and they are better then the underarm kind i’m looking currently for a new pair these ones are old and don’t fit quite right anymore i think from what i read everyone is happy with there crutches from you so i’m thinking and checking if they are good ones to use.

Hi Gaile,
Thanks for coming by! I like your thoughts. Becasue the forearm and underarm have such different lengths-I’m not sure it would work but being able to swith positions and rest is a great idea. Thanks for your ideas. Steve

Hi,
From my short experience with crutches, I think it would be great to have a pear of crutches which have changeable cuffs – user could be able to change from fore-arm to under-arm? To be able to rest from one position. Because using one type is tiring enough…
Is it only my experience? What do you think?

Thanks,
Gaile

Hey there…I love the idea that your blog i here to help people on crutches! Sounds like most of you guys are on forearm crutches, but I’m on some old school adjustable crutches. I just wanted to say, there was another site I was on a while back that had a great feature and I thought I’d carry it over here in the hopes it would help at least one person.

I was on crutches a long time and the product I absolutely couldn’t live without was called the Crutch Bag (www.TheCrutchBag.com) I don’t know who it was, but some saint mentioned it on another site I feel compelled to thank them/return the favor.

They carry almost anything, firmly, snugly, and in the center of gravity of the crutch. Pretty ingenious and pretty cool looking. I recommend the twin pack…I used both all the time. I’m too stubborn to ask for help and this really helped me. Just wanted to let you guys know!

Thanks again and I hope this “pays it forward.”

Again, it’s: http://www.TheCrutchBag.com

Thanks! – Sham
