    Excellent and long lasting

    Review by J. Middleton Posted on 01/12/2024 12:18:56
    I bought these crutches to replace one i've been using for 8 years, and the arm rest part is worn out. I cannot use regular crutches because of arthritis in my hands, but also have an unjoined ulna. They're perfect for what I need.

    Walking aids

    Review by H. Keen Posted on 30/10/2024 19:13:47
    I think these will take time to get used to. It’s case to getting used to taking the weight in your elbows rather than your hands. I have arthritic hands so I really need this design. I’m still practicing. Am quite tall. I think a shorter person would find them easier.

    Perfect for me

    Review by A. Saggers Posted on 22/07/2024 12:49:44
    I found traditional crutches (both armpit and wrist based) too painful as they require you to have strong wrists and tough hands .. These trough crutches have made my life so much easier and enabled me to mobilise a bit more at home and to my local shop. I’d say these are by far superior to any other i’ve tried and the trough is very well padded too so no discomfort bruising or pain!!!

    Really good

    Review by A Milgate Posted on 10/08/2021 11:38:58
    Due to arthritis in my wrists and fingers, plus carpal tunnel make the trough crutches perfect.

    Perfect for my husband

    Review by A Jackson Posted on 12/06/2017 09:40:49
    The arthritic crutches were just what I needed for my husband, whose leg was in plaster and who could only hobble around on one leg.

    Quality crutches

    Very happy

    Review by T Wilson Posted on 23/12/2015 13:01:42
    I was at a loss, I had injured my foot and because of arthritic thumbs ordinary crutches were very painful to use. I ordered essential aids crutches for arthritis, which I did not know existed until I delved into your web site. What a god send. I can walk around with all the weight on my forearm instead of my hands and arthritic thumbs. Brilliant product and a good price.
