Crutches: compare models side by side
The crutches we have checked against their makers' own documents. Filter by weight or user weight limit, then put up to four side by side.
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.
