Description

They are often used in pairs, but you can also use a single crutch to support one side of the body. Crutches are operated with the forearms, and they come in a variety of styles to suit different mobility needs. People recovering from traumatic injuries, people with long-term disabilities, and people with conditions like arthritis and cerebral palsy can all benefit from using crutches.
