Underarm Crutch Measuring

Custom Wood Underarm Crutches:

Please be sure to state your height, weight and activity level when ordering these crutches so we can select the most appropriate wood dimensions for your needs. It is best if you make a tracing of your existing crutch and fill in the measurements too. Be sure to trace the circumference and width of your Kenny leather armband and give any details as to their design as there is no standard design for this cuff. Better yet send us a single spare crutch for us to copy.

Custom Aluminum Underarm Crutches:

It is always best for us when you make a tracing of your existing crutch and take measurements as per the below pictures. We keep these drawings on file for future reference. Please note that adjustable Shepherds crutches were once manufactured by Lumex, Inc. and this is what you have now. They mounted their hard plastic hand grip so that your thumb and index finger are closest to the pole. We find there is an advantage to facing the hand and underarm piece in the opposite direction. However if you were used to the Lumex method I'd advise you to have us mount my grips the same way. In any case please be sure to indicate the direction you prefer on your tracing. The foam padded sleeves I buy at my local bicycle store. You can do the same and save some money or buy them from us for $20.00 pair plus $7.00 shipping & handling.
