KMINA Adjustable Forearm Crutches for Adults, Ergonomic Non-Slip Handles with Elbow Support, Patented, Made in Europe - KMINA PRO

These crutches are fantastic! I was recovering from a very badly broken ankle, so I needed to be non-weight bearing for a long time. But, I'd also managed to break a finger, so I couldn't put weight on the palm of my hand like you have to while using traditional crutches. These solved the problem by putting the weight on my forearms instead of my hands. As a plus, putting my weight on my forearms removed the pressure from my wrists and armpits as well. With traditional crutches, all of the weight is supposed to go on the palms of your hands. But then your wrists end up getting sore, which is why most people also put some weight on the pad in their armpit. However, putting weight into your armpits is not good for your shoulder, and I know a few people who've ended up with shoulder injuries from traditional crutches. With these Kmina crutches, because the weight of your body is supported by your entire forearm, they remove the irritation of pressure points that traditional crutches cause. Also, the bottom on these crutches had a pad that was bigger and softer rubber than traditional crutches. Since I have hardwood floors in my house, it made them more stable on the slippery wood. In fact, my broken finger was caused by slipping while using traditional crutches. I wish I'd bought these right away! The crutches were really easy to use, although I was a little confused at first. The video for the Kmina Pro crutches on YouTube was very helpful for figuring out how to use them. I also kept mixing up the left from the right, so I finally marked one with a little piece of tape to visually identify them easily. They're not cheap, but they're totally worth it if you have a long recovery period. And they're certainly cheaper than injuring your shoulder or breaking your finger as traditional crutches caused me to do! While I'm hoping I never need to use any crutches ever again, if I do I'll definitely only use these.

I had some standard forearm crutches at home, but this time I had a long term injury and I needed something better. This one is more expensive and if you need 2 you have to buy both left and right units. The first time I used this one, it seemed strange since it is a totally different concept, but in a few hours I began to notice that it was very comfortable compared to a conventional one. Another aspect that I really liked is its ability to adapt perfectly to your body. It has a regulation with multiple positions, both in height and in the forearm length. Regarding the shipping and packaging, it arrived on time and perfectly packed, with instructions included. Something to improve? Yes, you have to assemble it and it would be better to be easier to assemble. Although the assembly is very detailed in the instructions. Would I buy it again? Yes, it is a great solution to walk faster, safer and with a better body position. If you want to improve your quality of life, they are definitely worth the money!

I almost didn't buy this because they don't take HSA money. I've used this plenty but it's always felt flimsy and at times unstable. No matter how we adjusted it (which is hard to do! It took power tools... ....wth?) it hurts the wrists and elbow and shoulder.... I got it thinking it looked more ergonomic than other crutches. I've had normal crutches and had been using a cane but that hurt my wrist and elbow also. At first this one felt good but I was only using it to get up and down the stairs and ...like I said it felt like it was bowing a lot. I weigh 180. Not light but not 220... At forty pounds under the limit and not putting my whole weight on it that's an issue. The bottom rubber came off a couple times though not enough to think about it had I not been displeased with the rest. I was feeling much better from PT and rest so tried to walk a few hours at a theme park using this instead of an ecv for the first time. (PT was perplexed by the crutch but they didn't say anything positive or negative I don't know if they assumed my doctor prescribed it but they insinuated I could use a normal cane and it would be just as well. They had more use for a walker for me than this. ) At the theme park I was taking my time. Being very deliberate (after meniscus tear and other injuries) I was resting frequently...I have to due to circulation alone I had to raise my leg every so often to heart level. Plus what rides I could tolerate etc.....it's not like I was going on one multi hour walk... Yet by the third hour my knee and other parts of leg, foot were already sore and tired at a point even painful in the meniscus but the pain on my wrist and elbow were so bad I kept alternating between being in pain in my leg and my arm (due to this crutch NOT being so ergonomic) . It was pretty awful. I've had crutches that hurt my underarm when I had a cast for my other leg, used those to get across campus everyday for several weeks and though my armpits got sore and wrists at times it was nothing like this! I now have more pain returning to the leg so normal crutches on the way and another brand of similar type to this but they look way different in how positioned. For now I'm getting around using a cane most often, I just can't go as fast in on the cane (though not supposed to go fast with this crutch either, so basically it's only special if you use it how it's not supposed to be used). My PT had corrected how I use the cane, that helped me with my wrist pain for that. Unfortunately nothing has helped when using this other than frequent breaks and limited usage. It's also pretty heavy compared to similar models that claim to support 30 pounds or more above the limit for these. I don't know many people that are under 220....many are overweight but some are just fit men under the height limit so I don't get why these are flimsy ....they have thick size and are fairly cumbersome yet they bend and bow if you get 40 pounds under their limit. The arm flap is not comfortable. I hadn't had to use it in much in heat at least but if it was at all warm it was unpleasant. It isn't adjustable at all and is almost flat.....so if you have any muscle on your forearm it's uncomfortable after barely any time/use. It's a clever attempt at a convinient securing of the forearm part but it's not functional how it's designed in shape and material etc. My arm has slid out easily when holding up the crutch (not dangerous persay since I was pointing and not using it at that moment) but it seems almost redundant. I tried to let it hold my arm in place instead of holding the handle due to the wrist pain but that doesn't work....I ended up just holding the edge before the handle .... with my fingers and my arm all wonky because at the end of a couple hours it was better than using it "correctly". I originally liked it much better than the cane but again, was not yet very mobile. I was going to get a second one at the time...to make things easier though not suggested to me. But still no FSA or HSA .... But I'm glad I did not because looking back it's been tons of problems. Side note is the thing squeaks about half the time I've used it which is not pleasant ...and for the cost there are no other color options???

I've been using these for quite awhile now. I will never again go back to regular underarm crutched.

Für mich, die besten Gehhilfen bei Polyarthrose. Sie entlasten Schultern und Handgelenke, lassen gerades Laufen zu und man kann sich beim Stehen bequem draufstützen. Schmerzen in den Armgelenken, ausgelöst durch einfache Gehhilfen nehmen ab und verschwinden irgendwann. Habe andere Modelle dieser besonderen Art ausprobiert, auch die sau teuren amerikanischen Dinger ( Die waren sackschwer.). Diese hier sind leicht, durch die Federung und den breiten Fuß weich und geräuschlos benutzbar und geben Sicherheit beim laufen. Die Verstellbarkeit der Höhe ist ungeschickt geregelt, da man sich die Lochzahl nicht einprägen kann, weil sich die Löcher des unteren Rohrs innerhalb des oberen befinden. Auch sollte man hin und wieder die Imbusschrauben des Griffrohres oder der Auflage überprüfen und ggf. nachziehen. Dennoch: Die Vorteile überwiegen.

Kryckan är bra men jag får lite träningsvärk än så länge. Den är otymplig i vissa lägen.

après avoir tenté la droite j'ai tout de suite commandé la gauche, en raison de ma maladie mes mains me font souffrir énormément et les cannes anglaises me font mal aux mains, avec celles-ci je peux répandre le poids de mon corps sur mes avant-bras et c'est parfait, confort inégalable, je recommande même si le prix est un peu élevé.
