Walk Easy has established itself as a trusted name in orthopedic mobility solutions. The Model 480 forearm crutches represent the perfect balance of clinical functionality and user comfort. Unlike traditional underarm crutches, forearm crutches distribute weight more evenly across the forearm, reducing fatigue and allowing for more natural movement patterns.
The 4" full cuff provides comprehensive forearm support, making these crutches particularly well-suited for users who need extended daily use or those transitioning from wheelchair mobility to independent ambulation. Healthcare professionals recommend forearm crutches for their superior ergonomics and reduced risk of nerve damage compared to axillary (underarm) crutches.
