Today's crutches are just as unique as their users. From classic black to cheerful yellows and purples, forearm crutches are designed with the user in mind. Handcrafted crutches of stained wood are available for a rustic look, while a sleek expandable crutch is ideal for frequent travelers. Contemporary crutches with shock absorbers and traction-enhancing tips with a variety of options for grips on forearm versions, such as the gel inserts, afford the user extra comfort in a lightweight crutch. For the more independent person on the go, a cane offers stability and manageability.
Adjustable heights allow room to grow and comfortable grips relieve stress on the hand and wrist.
For folks facing winter's elements, ice picks for walkers and canes can furnish more traction than smooth-tipped devices. Wheelchair bags come in a variety of sizes, from a saddle bag to hang along the side of a chair to a sturdy, roomier backpack for carrying groceries and heavier items. Scooter users may also benefit from a drawer that slides underneath the seat to hold wallets, keys and smaller necessities. Copyrighted by the Amputee Coalition of America.
