Aids For Mobility: Adjustable Canes And Crutches
Not everyone can get around at 80 quite as well as they did at 30, although there are some exceptions.
Invacare, a leader in home health products, makes a forearm crutch in junior, adult, and tall, and a pair can be purchased for just over $60, making them a good bargain.
Since they have cushioned vinyl handgrips and can hold up to 300 pounds they are a logical choice for many people who need to buy crutches with added stability.
No matter what mobility aid is chosen it is important to get the right one that meets the needs of the patient.
Invacare and Rubbermaid both make adjustable canes. If crutches are not needed, canes are also good choices.
