If you've recently injured your lower half, Broadway Home Medical has you covered. We offer a variety of standard crutches for sale suitable for all ages, as well as crutch substitutes like knee walkers and the hands-free iWalk3 — so you can find the option that works best for your recovery.
Standard crutches are incredibly useful after a leg or foot injury. Most crutches can be adjusted to fit several different body sizes and disassembled for convenient travel. They provide increased stability for those who have trouble keeping their balance during recovery. Depending on your injury, your doctor may recommend a specific type — talk to your medical provider to learn which crutches are right for you.
Standard crutches typically feature easily adjustable height settings, lightweight and durable construction, and comfortable underarm pads and handgrips for extended use.
The Medline Aluminum Forearm Crutches are a top choice — featuring a lightweight aluminum frame and ergonomic grips for added comfort, with sturdy construction that ensures reliable support throughout your recovery.
Forearm and underarm crutches use pads positioned between the arm and forearm, providing more stability and a better overall fit than a single-handed crutch. They help bear some of the weight off your hands, wrists, elbows, and arms — making them ideal for individuals who can't handle the load that traditional crutches place on the upper body. Forearm crutches are especially helpful when crutches are needed for an extended period of time.
Looking for a crutch alternative? Whether you want to avoid crutches entirely or supplement them, there are several options available — from knee scooters to hands-free leg crutches. Here's what each has to offer.
A knee scooter — also called a knee walker — is a popular alternative to traditional crutches for lower leg, foot, and ankle injuries. You rest your injured leg on a padded knee platform and propel yourself with your good leg, keeping your hands free and reducing strain on your upper body. The Kneewalker we carry features an offset knee pad to prevent your foot from catching on the rear wheels, and an attachable front basket for carrying personal items.
Knee scooters are lightweight, easily maneuverable, and far less tiring than crutches since they don't rely on your arms and hands for locomotion. They feature adjustable handlebars, padded knee platforms, and front-facing brakes, and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. If the knee pad isn't soft enough, a fleece cover can be added for extra cushioning.
The Drive Medical Dual Pad Steerable Knee Walker offers a comfortable padded knee platform and a steering mechanism for enhanced control. Its foldable design makes it easy to store and transport.
The iWalk3 is a hands-free crutch substitute that straps securely to your thigh, knee, and ankle. Unlike traditional crutches that force your arms and hands to do the work of walking, the iWalk3 uses your own leg — the way your body was designed to move. Once strapped in, most users are walking within minutes. It's completely hands-free, leaving both arms available for daily tasks.
The iWALK3.0 Hands-Free Knee Crutch is ideal for lower leg injuries — such as foot, ankle, or below-the-knee injuries — where the knee and thigh are unaffected. It is adjustable to fit various leg sizes and allows you to maintain full mobility and independence throughout your recovery.
The best option depends on your injury and lifestyle. Knee scooters are a great all-around alternative — easy to maneuver and far less tiring than traditional crutches. The iWalk3 is an excellent choice if your knee and thigh are uninjured and you need both hands free throughout the day. Our staff can help you evaluate which option fits your situation best.
