Tall - in-Motion Forearm Crutches

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

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!!

Initially, I was trying to find something that was a match for a pair of $240 arm crutches I found. I liked the look but also that they had more features (springs, handles, etc). These mostly fit the bill visually, seemed higher quality than the run of the mill, and were half the price of the inspo crutches. I've been using crutches and a knee scooter for almost 4 months now and this has been a game changer for me. I don't think I could have started off with something like this, I needed the support of the crutches to rest my armpits on. But now that I'm much more mobile and my hands are stronger, these make moving much smoother. I can easily use the arm band to pick the crutch up while carrying something in that hand and use the other as a cane. When I'm in my house, I almost never use both since speed isn't an issue. Using it as a cane feels much more supportive than the cane I have, too. Not wobbly, love the little pivoting foot/spring. Movement feels so natural with these. I highly recommend these if you're looking for something to use in the long term, once you're doing well with the clunkier old-school crutches. Upgrade. You won't regret it.

The handles are angled properly so that when you walk with the crutches you are not straining your hand. Handles that go straight out aggravate my hand if I have to walk longer distances. The handles are also larger and more comfortable for your hands. The spring in the shaft helps absorb some of the shock of the crutches hitting the ground as you walk. It makes it less jarring and a softer landing. These are heavier than some of the other forearm crutches but they are worth having the extra weight. Light weight alone is not the only thing that matters with crutches. Also the pins that set the height protrude on both sides of the shaft making a more secure attachment of the inner to the outer shaft of the legs of the crutches. The handles can be adjusted to height by lifting the arm ring on the upper shaft above the handle. The comfort is really important because if the handles are not comfortable for walking you will develop hand pain on longer walks. These are really well made crutches and are comfortable to use. I recommend these over some of the others for the reasons above.

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!!
