The Drive DeVilbiss forearm platform crutches feature innovative weight distribution through a padded trough design that transfers body weight through the entire forearm.
Total Support with Forearm Weight Distribution
The Drive DeVilbiss Forearm Platform Crutches feature an innovative forearm weight distribution system. Standard hand grips place weight directly onto the palm and wrist. These expertly engineered crutches distribute the body’s weight through the entire forearm. The “trough” style design provides a comfortable and secure mobility solution with forearm weight distribution functionality.
Forearm Weight Distribution Design
The core of this crutch’s innovative design is the padded horizontal platform, or “trough.” The forearm rests in the comfortable, cushioned channel. This intelligent design transfers body weight through the forearm. It’s a practical approach that provides an effective mobility solution for a wide range of applications.
A Secure and Customisable Fit
To ensure a perfect and safe fit, the platform is fully adjustable. The handle can be moved forwards or backwards and rotated to a neutral position for optimal positioning, while two adjustable Velcro straps secure the arm comfortably and firmly in place. The overall height of the crutch is also easily modified with a simple push-pin system, delivering a fully personalised and ergonomic fit for optimal posture and support.
Robust and Reliable Construction
Built from a strong yet lightweight aluminium, these crutches are designed for dependable daily use. They are robust enough to support a user weight of up to 136kg (21st) while remaining easy to handle and position. For safety on a wide variety of surfaces, the crutches are fitted with large, hard-wearing, non-slip rubber ferrules that provide excellent traction and stability, delivering the stability for secure movement.
