Elbow crutches are mobility aids designed to assist individuals who need extra support while walking due to injury, surgery, or long-term disability. They are typically made from lightweight materials such as aluminum and feature a cuff that fits around the forearm (elbow) and a handgrip to provide stability and balance. Elbow crutches are adjustable in height to suit the user and are commonly used for people who need more mobility than what standard underarm crutches provide.
These crutches are favored for long-term use as they reduce the risk of shoulder and underarm discomfort, providing better support for the arms and wrists. They are used in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and at home for people recovering from lower limb injuries or surgeries
