Arthritic Elbow Crutches - Gutter Trough Crutches

Arthritic crutches support the whole forearm in a padded trough rather than loading weight through the wrist and hand. For anyone with rheumatoid arthritis, a painful wrist, or reduced grip strength, that difference is often what makes walking with crutches possible at all. Supplied as a pair.

• Padded forearm trough takes weight off the wrist and hand entirely
• Adjustable trough height from 980 mm to 1219 mm (38"–48")
• Suited to arthritis, weak grip and wrist pain
• Latex free
• Supports users up to 127 kg (20 st)

These are sometimes listed as gutter crutches or trough crutches. If you are unsure whether they suit your situation, it is worth checking with your physiotherapist or occupational therapist first, as the walking technique differs from a standard elbow crutch.
