Forearm Crutches?

Where does the lighter go?

Maybe you could outfit the lowers with some pockets. Then you could skip the fanny pack all together.

Haha Iceman rocks a fanny pack in jeans!

Can those thing be converted into a makeshift maul?

I do not own a fanny pack, I think Gepeto was projecting on me.

I'm sure they could be converted to a very satisfactory maul. So watch out.

No fanny pack?
How do you carry all your essentials?

Can you modify it so that you can smoke out of it? Gotta keep up on those pain meds

[Gepeto]

Wait... What? I love mine - indispensable!

Seriously the things look like weapons. I'm pretty sure you could do almost anything with them.

If someone could figure out a way to actually carry shit while you're on crutches they'd make a mint. Like a bowl of soup or a sandwich on a plate. That shit is no-can-do and I hate asking for help all the time.

Fail. No cup holder?

Currently looking into our own crutches instead of borrowing others for the 'next issue'. Seems like every skier & boarder will need a set someday. As a kid, a claim to fame was being able to walk around on armpit crutches without any feet....

Under what situations are the fore arm crutches better? A cane didn't cut it for heel flair ups and pressure pain. The armpit crutches are familiar and work great taking off the pressure but I'm wondering about stairs and carrying stuff better or not with the forearm style.

So I didn't buy the forearm crutches but I did get some high tech Ergobaum Dual crutches and for now it has fixed me. Shoulders feel radically better after two days. Not that expensive, about $200 on Amazon.



They fit up under the armpit like regular crutches, with the handle in front. Really changes the whole geometry of arm, crutch, body and for now it's working great. They're made of heavy-grade anodized aluminum, they're like wht the SWAT team would use if they needed crutches. Just thought I'd put this here for anyone researching crutches later.

I've never seen these before. Interesting:

I've seen a variation of that ^^ with 4 wheels , I remember the guy was getting around pretty fast in a store or somewhere like that
