Trough Crutches – Padded Forearm Support
The Trough Crutches have been expertly designed to provide superior support, comfort, and stability for users who require mobility assistance. Unlike standard crutches, these are equipped with a padded forearm platform, which allows for the distribution of body weight across a larger surface area. This innovative design reduces pressure on the wrists and hands, making them ideal for extended use and for individuals who may experience discomfort with traditional crutches. By offering enhanced support, the Trough Crutches help users maintain better posture and balance, making everyday activities safer and more comfortable.
Key Features
Easy Height Adjustment
The Trough Crutches are fully adjustable in height, ensuring they can be customised to suit users of varying statures. This adaptability makes them suitable for both adults and taller teenagers, and allows for changes as needed over time. Adjusting the crutches is straightforward, requiring only simple mechanisms, so users can set them to the ideal height with minimal effort. Correct height adjustment ensures that the crutches provide optimal support, reducing the risk of strain or injury during use.
Adjustable Handgrip Position
In addition to height adjustments, the handgrips of the Trough Crutches can also be moved to the most comfortable position for each user. This feature allows for ergonomic alignment of the wrist and forearm, improving overall comfort and reducing the likelihood of fatigue. By accommodating different arm lengths and user preferences, the adjustable handgrip helps make walking or standing for extended periods more manageable.
Hard-Wearing, Non-Slip Tips
Safety is a critical consideration in mobility aids, and the Trough Crutches come equipped with durable, non-slip tips. These tips provide excellent stability across a wide range of surfaces, including carpet, tile, and uneven outdoor terrain. The high-quality material ensures long-lasting performance and reduces the risk of slips or falls, giving users the confidence to move around freely. Regular inspection and replacement of the tips are recommended to maintain optimum safety and performance.
Maximum User Weight
The Trough Crutches are built to support users up to 136kg (21st), making them suitable for a broad range of individuals. The robust construction ensures that the crutches remain reliable under consistent use, providing both stability and durability. This feature is particularly important for users who need dependable mobility support throughout the day, whether at home, work, or in public spaces.
Platform Height
The forearm platform of the crutches can be adjusted to a height range of 97–122cm. This adjustability ensures proper alignment with the user’s arm length and overall height, contributing to better posture and ease of movement. A correctly positioned platform enhances weight distribution, alleviating pressure on the forearms and wrists, and allowing for a more natural walking motion.
Design and Comfort
The Trough Crutches combine functional design with user comfort. The padded forearm platform is designed to contour to the shape of the arm, offering a soft and supportive surface that reduces discomfort during prolonged use. The padding is made from durable, high-quality materials that withstand daily wear while remaining comfortable to touch. The ergonomic design promotes a natural stance, which helps users walk with better stability and reduces the risk of fatigue or soreness over time.
Durability and Maintenance
Constructed from high-quality materials, the Trough Crutches are designed for longevity. The frame is strong yet lightweight, making them easy to manoeuvre without compromising on stability. Users are advised to regularly check the crutches for wear and tear, particularly the non-slip tips and handgrip positions, to ensure ongoing safety and performance. Simple cleaning and maintenance routines can extend the lifespan of the crutches, keeping them in optimal condition for daily use.
Ideal Use Cases
