Review Mobility Winner 2026
Ossenberg Big XL Comfort Grip Closed Cuff
Our verdict
The Big XL has the widest handle range we found, 73 to 103 cm, with a 150 kg limit and a 750 g crutch weight, and both the UK page and the Ossenberg instructions agree on those figures.
Best for: most adults on elbow crutches for weeks or months, including taller users and people up to 150 kg.
Not for: anyone over 150 kg (look at the Days, rated to 160 kg), or anyone who wants an open cuff they can slip out of quickly.
Based on the maker's published documents. We have not physically tested this product.

Where the maker’s own documents disagree
We found no disagreement between the Ossenberg UK product page and the Ossenberg instructions for the Big XL: both give 73 to 103 cm, 22.5 to 27.5 cm and 150 kg. The instructions add a point most buyers never see: “The service life of the forearm-supported walking aids is limited to 2 years.”
Where these figures come from
We read the maker's documents for this product when we wrote Best Crutches UK: 7 Models Checked Against Their Makers’ Documents, where it is ranked number 1. The guide names each document and explains how the products were ranked.
Specifications are shown as the maker prints them in its own product page, leaflet or manual, read on the date given. Where a price is shown it names the seller and the date. We have not physically tested these products, and no maker or retailer can pay to be listed or placed higher. Not sure what suits you? An occupational therapist or your local wheelchair service can advise.
