Frequently Asked Questions
What height range do these McKesson Adult Underarm Crutches fit?
These crutches are fully adjustable in height and arm length to properly fit 96% of all adults from 4'9" to 6'6", making them a versatile option for a wide range of users without needing custom sizing.
How do these crutches reduce underarm discomfort?
The articulated saddle design pivots and rotates in tandem with body movement, and the pliable membrane sling provides suspended support for unparalleled underarm comfort. The saddle is also well-ventilated for continuous air circulation during use.
How do the handgrips reduce fatigue?
The ergonomic handgrips contour to the hand, maintain a natural wrist angle, and evenly distribute load across the palm. The grips are specifically designed for left and right hands, and 1-1/4 inches of built-in dampening further reduces impact fatigue.
What safety features do these crutches include?
The legs are offset to provide hip clearance and limit the potential for tripping, and the rocker feet feature over-molded natural rubber pads that maintain full contact throughout the stride — proven to require less exertion and improve stability during ambulation.
