X-Crutch – Underarm Crutches

Item Description:
Retractable underarm crutches, which are available in black or rose gold.

Source of Item:
Wheelchair 88 Website

Diagnosis:
Not Disclosed

Personal Opinion:
Having a movement disorder and cubital tunnel syndrome in both arms and wrists, which constantly damage for no known reason, meant I was finding crutches impossible to use. I also use a wheelchair most of the time, so was struggling to actually find a solution which could be quickly packed out of the way, as I can’t stand products laying about. I eventually decided to bite the bullet and risk buying the X-crutch from abroad.

The main thing about the X-crutch is that it’s retractable, which is more useful than you think! It’s not just good for keeping the item out of the way in a smaller form, but also good because you can use the crutch in its retractable state for transfers, or getting to places where a full underarm crutch won’t work.
