Lightweight Aluminium Construction

The Yuwell Adjustable Underarm Crutches are manufactured with lightweight aluminium frames, making them easier to lift and move with each step than crutches made from heavier materials.

Their lightweight construction can be helpful when the user needs to use the crutches regularly throughout the recovery period. However, the crutches must be adjusted correctly before use. Crutches that are too high or too low may result in an uncomfortable or unsafe walking position.

Nine Height Adjustment Levels

The crutches provide nine different height settings, allowing their overall length to be adjusted according to the user’s height and standing position. The height is changed using the metal push button located on the lower section of each crutch.

After selecting the required level, make sure the push button has fully emerged through the selected hole and that there is no movement between the shaft sections.

The height of the Yuwell Adjustable Underarm Crutches should preferably be set by a doctor or physiotherapist to help achieve a safe and comfortable fit.

Five Adjustable Handgrip Positions

In addition to the nine overall height settings, each crutch provides five different handgrip positions. These settings allow the distance between the handgrip and the underarm support to be adjusted according to the length of the user’s arm.

The handgrip is moved to the selected level and secured with the side fixing screw. The screw must be tightened securely before use, as movement in the handgrip can affect control and stability while walking.

Padded Underarm Support

Each crutch includes a wide padded support designed to provide a more comfortable position beneath the arm. The underarm support also helps guide the upper part of the crutch during movement.

The user should not place full body weight directly onto the underarm pad. Most of the pressure should be taken through the hands on the handgrips. Continuous pressure in the armpit area may cause discomfort, numbness or nerve compression, so correct adjustment and professional training are important.

Comfortable Adjustable Handgrips

The Yuwell Adjustable Underarm Crutches include padded handgrips designed to provide a comfortable and controlled grip. Each handgrip can be adjusted through five positions to suit the user’s arm length and elbow position.

When holding the handgrip, the elbow should remain slightly bent and the shoulders should stay in a natural position. If the user experiences pain, tingling, numbness or excessive pressure in the hands or arms, use should be stopped until the crutches have been checked and readjusted by a qualified professional.

Rubber Tips for Improved Floor Contact

Each crutch ends with a rubber tip that helps improve contact with the floor and reduce the likelihood of slipping when the crutches are used correctly.

The rubber tips should be inspected regularly and replaced if they become worn, damaged or cracked. Rubber tips cannot completely prevent slipping, so wet, slippery and severely uneven surfaces should be avoided.

Suitable Uses

Yuwell underarm crutches may be used during recovery from leg or foot fractures, lower-limb injuries and certain surgical procedures. They can also support users who have been instructed to reduce weight bearing while walking.

The permitted amount of weight bearing varies between patients. A doctor may prescribe non-weight bearing, partial weight bearing or gradual loading based on the condition and stage of recovery. Users should follow professional instructions rather than deciding their walking technique independently.

Safety Instructions

Adjust the overall height and handgrip position before use. Make sure all push buttons have fully emerged through the selected holes and that the handgrip screws are securely tightened.

Leave an appropriate space between the underarm pad and the armpit. Avoid supporting the full body weight directly through the underarm area. Place each rubber tip completely on the floor before moving.

Do not use the crutches if the rubber tips are worn, the frames are loose, or any part is cracked, bent or damaged. The user should learn how to walk, stand, sit and use stairs with the crutches under professional supervision.
