- in-Motion Forearm Crutches | Spring Assist Crutches for Adults | Walking Crutch with Ergonomic Handles | Articulating Tips | Size Tall (5'3" - 6'8") | Lightweight & Durable | Charcoal | 350lb Capacity

I purchased In-Motion Forearm, Spring Assist Crutches after a friend recommended them. I complained about the standard crutches I was provided after an accident and he was like, "Shut up! You gotta get these things!" So I looked them up and started reading reviews. The reviews did NOT instill confidence. People reported the being noisy, cuffs falling off, and for those who purchased the spring assisted models, it seemed some felt it made them more difficult to use. I went ahead and purchased them anyway and I'm really glad I did. They're everything the manufacturer and my friend said they'd be. But now that I have them I understand why some folks complained about these issues. But it's user error - not a product or design problem in my experience. If your forearm cuffs are coming off, you've likely installed them backward and upside down. The open end of the adjustable forearm bracket should face the opposite direction of the handles - or - behind you, and the closest (most closed) point of the opening of the cuffs, when positioned over the handle, should be facing upward. Another thing to note is that these crutches handles or ergonomically designed for each of your hands, so there is a left crutch and a right crutch. They are NOT ambidextrous. If the "fin" of the grip is cutting across your palm it just means you've got the right crutch in your left hand. Switch them and you've be right as rain. Noise? Mine are perfectly quiet. I can hear a little spring action but that's it. Stability is a big thing. These are stable. They include two cuff sizes. You want snug but not tight. If the cuffs are loose stability is going to be a problem. But it's also important to know that you're not going to IMMEDIATELY get the same level of stability out of forearm crutches that you get from standard crutches. It's going to take a little time for your muscles to catch up. A few days should do it but I wouldn't get upset if it took a week or so. Another big part of stability is how you use them. Everything from properly sizing them (your arms should have a slight bend when at your sides. 5º or so is ideal), to taking shorter strides is going to help. Your strides will improve as you get stronger. Another thing I found helped a lot as a new user was the angle of the handles. You'll be least stable with the handles pointing straight ahead, and the crutches will always be more prone to getting bumped if you angle your handles inward toward your thighs. I've found that 45º inward is the most stable and natural position. I live in the mountains. There's only dirt, mud and gravel. I'm completely new to forearm crutches and these have been 1000 times better than the conventional crutches I was using. These look great, they're light and easy to whip around when getting in and out of the car, they're strong and the build quality and materials seem top notch... I'm happy as a pig with mine. I hope this helps others who are new to forearm crutches have a better experience cuz it's absolutely worth the time and effort to acclimate to them. Mine showed up yesterday as I got out reconstructive surgery for my ankle. But I'm also waiting to have surgery on both shoulders. The standard crutches I was using before surgery were so bad on my shoulders I'd basically given up on getting around. Millennial's in-Motion forearm crutches have been an absolute life saver.

I have neuropathy in my feet, so I frequently use forearm crutches to take some of the pressure off them. These are the third pair of crutches I’ve had, and while I like the first two just fine, the in-Motion Forearm Crutches are the most comfortable and supportive. Any time I order forearm crutches, I’m afraid the cuffs are going to be too small for my forearms (I’m not exactly a small guy lol). Not only are these cuffs big enough, but they fit my forearms comfortably and give me a feeling of stability. And for those in need of smaller cuffs, don’t worry—the crutches come with two different sizes. Back to stability. Like I said, I’m a bigger guy (about 280 lbs.), so I have to be conscious of specifications when it comes to something that’s helping me support my weight. These crutches have a maximum capacity of 350 lbs., and they feel every bit as stable and solid as you could hope for. I’m not worried about them kicking out from underneath me regardless of what gait I’m using or what I’m doing. I said these crutches were comfortable and supportive at the beginning, so just a little more on that. They have ergonomic handles, which is a first for me, and they are so, so comfortable. I feel little to no stress on my hands and wrists with these crutches. Lastly, the special springs and crutch tips are fantastic at absorbing the shock when you place your crutches down to step forward. The springs in particular are wonderful, because they absorb the impact and basically use it to support you and help you remain upright as you move. I haven’t had this kind of stability and support with my previous pairs of crutches. These are great, and I highly recommend them for whatever your mobility needs may be!!

I had to write something to let others know how incredibly happy I am that I found these forearm crutches. They changed everything for me as soon as I opened the box. I had Meniscus and MCL surgery a little over two weeks ago and using my crutches or a friends medical cane with a forearm holder, well they both worked, but was not the best. I decided to go online to see if somebody had designed something better for people like me recovering from surgery that needed either one or two crutches or canes and I found these in - Motion forearm crutches and cannot believe they not only work a hell of a lot better than what I had been using but they also had built-in shock absorbers. Was hoping when I got them that they would be cool as they looked on Amazon but when I got them, I was so jazzed because they are better than I expected! The quality is incredible. This is not some cheesy garbage from China. This is super high end .... They go together in seconds..... And for me it changed my life being able to use one or two of them at times and have them give me great support from the forearm holders........ But especially the built-in shock absorbers on the bottom which are set perfectly to the right amount of shock absorption. They also have handles that are conformed to your hands that are so much better than the traditional medical forearm crutch which are pretty lame....and this is huge! I could not have designed anything better and I even called the company just to thank them for designing this product and I told them I'm definitely going to put in a good review for them...... Which is something I rarely do. I'm 5 feet nine and I got the taller ones........ And they fit perfectly. Cannot recommend these enough!!! Thank you in Motion. These are helping me through a very difficult time and I absolutely appreciate it so much. Great design!! Thanks again! Scotty

These crutches are worth the extra money!! The shock absorption on the bottom helps with hand and shoulder pain. There are two cuff sizes included. They are made very well. I am moving so much better as a result!!
