Injury-guides

Compare forearm crutches and underarm crutches by comfort, stability, long-term use, sizing, common mistakes and injury type. Learn which style may be better for temporary recovery, long-term mobility and everyday function.

A short walking boot is usually selected for injuries concentrated in the toes, forefoot or metatarsals, while a tall walking boot provides more ankle and lower-leg immobilization. Compare cast boots for a broken foot, fifth metatarsal, fibula, ankle and Achilles injuries, including air and non-air options.
