FAQs

What is the recommended height range for these crutches?

These crutches are adjustable from 112 cm to 132 cm, suitable for most adult users within this height range.

How do I determine the correct height setting?

With the crutch beside you, the top of the underarm pad should be about 1-2 inches below your armpit. When holding the grip, your elbow should be slightly bent (around 15-20 degrees).

Can these crutches be used by children?

No, these crutches are specifically designed for adults and feature an adult height adjustment range. Children may require specialized pediatric crutches.

What material are the Medital Underarm Crutches made from?

They are constructed from lightweight stainless steel for durability and support.

How should I clean the crutches?

Wipe the crutches with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Ensure they are dried thoroughly after cleaning.

What is the weight limit for these crutches?

The product information does not specify a maximum weight limit. It is recommended to ensure the crutches feel sturdy and secure for the individual user's needs. If unsure, consult with a healthcare professional.

Are replacement parts available?

Replacement parts such as rubber tips and padding are typically available through medical supply retailers. Please check with your point of purchase or Medital customer support.

Troubleshooting

Crutches feel unstable or wobbly.

Ensure all height adjustment pins are fully engaged and locked into place. Check that the crutches are on a level surface and that the user is applying weight correctly.

Underarm or hand discomfort.

Verify the crutch height is properly adjusted so the underarm padding sits about 1-2 inches below the armpit and the grip is at wrist level when the arm is relaxed at the side. Ensure the ergonomic grips are positioned correctly for the user's hands.

Rubber tips are worn or damaged.

Worn or damaged tips can compromise traction. Replace the rubber tips immediately with compatible replacements to maintain stability.

Height adjustment is difficult.

Ensure the adjustment pin is fully depressed. If the pin is stiff, try gently cleaning the adjustment hole. If difficulty persists, do not force the adjustment.
