Collection: Crutches

Crutches are essential mobility aids that help reduce pressure on an injured leg or foot while maintaining independence. At Healthcare Solutions in Edmonton, you’ll find lightweight, adjustable, and ergonomic designs that provide reliable support whether you’re healing from surgery or managing a short-term injury.

We carry both underarm and forearm crutches, so you can choose the type that best fits your comfort and mobility needs. Adjustable height options make it easy to find the right fit, ensuring better posture and stability with each step.

• What’s the difference between underarm and forearm crutches? Underarm crutches are commonly used for short-term recovery, while forearm (or elbow) crutches are often preferred for long-term mobility support.
• How do I adjust crutches to the right height? When standing upright, the top of the crutch should be about two inches below your armpit, and your elbows should bend slightly when you hold the handgrips. Always follow the user manual for safe adjustments.
• Can I use crutches on stairs? Yes, but it’s best to learn proper technique from a healthcare professional to avoid falls or strain.
• Do crutches come in different materials? Most are made from lightweight aluminum, but some models include ergonomic grips or shock-absorbing tips for added comfort.
• Where can I find crutches in Edmonton? You can visit our two locations in Edmonton or order online for convenient pickup or delivery across the Edmonton area.

With the right pair of crutches, every step toward recovery can feel more comfortable and secure.
