Sold as a pair, these Arthritic Elbow Crutches are designed to help people who have reduced grip strength or who may suffer from arthritis and have painful joints in the hands and arms.In this case, the user\'s weight is taken mainly by the comfortably cushioned forearm pad rather than by a handle. There is a handle, positioned forward of the pad, but this is primarily for stability rather than weight-bearing. The crutches are height adjustable and the handle, which fully rotates, may be locked in any position. The end of each crutch has a slip-resistant, non-marking rubber ferrule.
