Total Support Without Hand or Wrist Strain

For individuals with painful or weak hands, arthritis, or wrist injuries, using traditional crutches can be an impossible and agonizing experience. Standard hand grips place a user’s entire body weight directly onto the palm and wrist, causing immense strain. The Drive DeVilbiss Forearm Platform Crutches are the expertly engineered solution to this problem. By completely bypassing the hands and supporting the body’s weight through the entire forearm, these “trough” style crutches provide a comfortable and secure way to remain mobile for those who cannot bear weight through their hands.

Eliminate Hand and Wrist Pressure

The core of this crutch’s innovative design is the padded horizontal platform, or “trough.” Instead of gripping a handle, you simply rest your forearm in the comfortable, cushioned channel. This intelligent design transfers your body weight through your forearm, completely eliminating the pressure and pain on your hands and wrists. It’s a revolutionary approach that provides a vital mobility solution for a wide range of users, enabling independence where it might otherwise be lost.

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 to match your specific needs, while two adjustable Velcro straps secure your arm comfortably and firmly in place. The overall height of the crutch is also easily modified with a simple push-pin system, allowing you to achieve 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 your 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, giving you the confidence to move securely.
