- Forearm crutches : Also known as English canes, these crutches have a vertical structure where the user's weight falls directly onto a tubular handle and a piece that fits around the user's forearm for balance. The entire weight falls on the hands, so the handles may be padded for added comfort.
- Platform crutches : These crutches have a frame that places the user's weight on a forearm support platform at the top. In addition to placing the forearm on the platform, they are secured with a strap or webbing.
- Axillary crutches : These crutches have a frame that places the user's weight on an underarm support . They distribute weight more evenly between the armpits and hands. Both the armpits and the handles can be padded for added comfort.
- Folding crutches : In addition to the support type (hands, forearm, armpit), there are folding crutches that are perfect for traveling or for taking and storing anywhere with a quick folding system.
- Children's crutches : In addition to the type of support and whether they're foldable, there are crutches designed specifically for children. The only difference is that they're smaller.
• The KMINA PRO crutches are an innovation in this category, one of the best Spanish inventions of 2017 thanks to their forearm support and cushioning.
Remember that the choice of crutches depends on your medical condition, personal preference, and the recommendations of your healthcare professional.
