Frequently Asked Questions about Children's Forearm Crutches (FAQ)

What age or size child are these crutches suitable for?
These DonJoy crutches are designed for children under 135 cm tall and have a maximum weight capacity of 100 kg. Because the height can be adjusted between 55 and 77 cm, they are easy to customize perfectly to the child's proportions.

Why choose forearm crutches for a child instead of underarm (axillary) crutches?
Forearm crutches are often a more ergonomic and safer option for a child. They promote a more natural walking posture and do not press on the nerves and blood vessels in the armpits. The 20-degree handle angle of the DonJoy crutches makes them particularly comfortable to use, even for extended periods.
