Customer Reviews of Medline Aluminum Forearm Crutches, Adult
Customer Review: They not only help keep me upright...
Summary: 5 Stars
These crutches help me immensely in walking, especially with the balance part. They not only help keep me upright, but greatly help with the joint pains associated with walking and standing.Customer Review: Overall...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried several alternatives following a recent leg injury. A cane is too unstable to support much weight and full crutches are simply too cumbersome. These forearm crutches are the perfect solution. Indeed, a single one, used much like a cane, provides all the support I need. It provides more balance and stability than a cane, yet takes enough weight off my leg to eliminate pain while walking.
These crutches are well built. The frames are thick and highly polished. In fact, they truly look and feel far more like stainless steel than aluminum. On each crutch, the length from floor to hand grip is fully adjustable using a series of holes with spring loaded locking pins. The length above the grip to the forearm brace/cuff is adjustable in the same manner. Rotating locking nuts above and below the adjustable sections eliminate any noise during use, and provides an even more solid feel overall. There is no play in the hand grip, the forearm brace/cuff is well padded, and the rubber foot offers reliable traction.
I would prefer more padding on the handgrip, perhaps a softer rubber instead of hard vinyl. The handgrips are not really uncomfortable. Instead, it would be more accurate to say the handgrips are not as comfortable as they could be. However, there is little doubt these vinyl grips will last much longer than soft rubber ones.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase.
Customer Review: They have very strong nuts and bolts.
Summary: 3 Stars
These have to be the sturdiest forearm crutches I have ever seen. They have very strong nuts and bolts. To me, being 5'1, they seem quite tall. They also seem heavy. I wish they were a lighter weight. the hand grips, while being quite big enough for someone with arthritis seem big for someone with small hands. I think this crutch was made for a quite larger person than myself. Customer Review: I was skeptical of the quality of them at such a low price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I just received my crutches yesterday. I was skeptical of the quality of them at such a low price. I'm very happy with them. They are comprable to the pair I'm using now, which I paid much more for. Mine get a lot of use (and abuse). I can't walk without them due to a chronic progressive disease, so I need good quality. My current ones have been through a lot, and these make perfect replacements.
