KMINA PRO - Forearm Crutches for Walking Adjustable (x1 Unit, Left), Elbow Crutch Stick, Fracture, Adults, Support - Made in Europe

These crutches are fantastic! I was recovering from a very badly broken ankle, so I needed to be non-weight bearing for a long time. But, I'd also managed to break a finger, so I couldn't put weight on the palm of my hand like you have to while using traditional crutches. These solved the problem by putting the weight on my forearms instead of my hands. As a plus, putting my weight on my forearms removed the pressure from my wrists and armpits as well. With traditional crutches, all of the weight is supposed to go on the palms of your hands. But then your wrists end up getting sore, which is why most people also put some weight on the pad in their armpit. However, putting weight into your armpits is not good for your shoulder, and I know a few people who've ended up with shoulder injuries from traditional crutches. With these Kmina crutches, because the weight of your body is supported by your entire forearm, they remove the irritation of pressure points that traditional crutches cause. Also, the bottom on these crutches had a pad that was bigger and softer rubber than traditional crutches. Since I have hardwood floors in my house, it made them more stable on the slippery wood. In fact, my broken finger was caused by slipping while using traditional crutches. I wish I'd bought these right away! The crutches were really easy to use, although I was a little confused at first. The video for the Kmina Pro crutches on YouTube was very helpful for figuring out how to use them. I also kept mixing up the left from the right, so I finally marked one with a little piece of tape to visually identify them easily. They're not cheap, but they're totally worth it if you have a long recovery period. And they're certainly cheaper than injuring your shoulder or breaking your finger as traditional crutches caused me to do! While I'm hoping I never need to use any crutches ever again, if I do I'll definitely only use these.

We purchased both the right and left of these crutches for our 14 year old daughter who has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome - Hypermobility Type. Because she is prone to dislocations and subluxations, she spends quite a lot of time on crutches. She found that standard crutches caused her back and joint pain, as well as painful subluxes in her wrists.. These crutches have been a game changer for her. She finds them light and intuitive to use, and is able to mobile safely around school and home without pain, or the same level of fatigue she experienced with standard crutches. The wider, more stable, bases also give her added security in wet weather, and appear easier for her to balance on, even with the poor proprioception which is a feature of h-EDS. She highly recommends this product.

Jag köpte dessa, för att jag har problem med normala kryckor, de lägger alldeles för mycket press på håndlederna. Dessa ser ju perfekta ut, som att man kan lägga vikten på hela armen istället. Men pga att de lutar framåt så blir de hur ostödiga som helst, och passar nog bättre til någon med reumatism eller liknande som bara behöver lite balansstöd än folk med ben eller fot-skador. Den saken som ska hålla kryckan på plats, över armen, är gjord av hårdplastik, och strammar till mycket och gör jätteont. Och då har jag även rätt smala armar, så det borde i och för sig inte vara ett problem. Men tyvärr, det gör alldeles för ont for att orka med i mer än et par minuter. Det var også svårt att hitta precis rätt höjdinställning för mig. Med skor kan de bli lite låga, utan skor kan de bli lite höga. Så för att oppsummera: Inte användbara som ersättning för benfunktion. Och därmed fyller de inte sitt syfte, och blev returnerade.

Super praktisch, hilfreich, bequem im Alltag, besonders gut für die jenigen, die auch noch starke Handgelenkschmerzen haben, werden entlastet. Bin sehr zufrieden damit, es ist zwar teuer, aber wenn man auf die Gehilfe auf Dauer angewiesen ist, sehr hilfreich.

Decisamente ottima idea di scaricare il peso tramite gli avambracci sulle spalle in modo distribuito Il fatto dai avere anche un minimo di molleggio aiuta molto anche nella deambulazione su terreni non del tutto lisci anche grazie ai piedi di appoggio in gomma e larghi Unico difetto forse il peso (credo che se fossero in carbonio sarebbero uno strumento top - ovvio ma il prezzo lieviterebbe) In ogni caso per degenze di almeno 20/30 gg super consigliate rispetto alle classiche stampelle
