Squeaky but good
I bought these as my doctor recommended European crutches for use after hip surgery.<br /><br />The positives:<br />* They work great.<br />* I am 6' 1" and I could be several inches taller and they would still work. Lot of adjustability.<br />* Right after surgery I needed a lower leverage point to stand up from a sitting position. I could easily adjust the height to bring it down so I could push down to get up. Then it was easy to adjust it back.<br />* The hand grips are in a great spot. Especially right after surgery these were super helpful. I don't know what I would have done if I were using traditional crutches.<br />* They are sturdy.<br /><br />The negatives:<br />* They squeak! It is not the end of the world but it gets more annoying as you use them more.<br /><br />I would definitely consider these for short term use. The squeaking would probably make me recommend others if you were purchasing these for a persistent condition.
