    Re: unable to non weight bear- advice needed

    Crutch can be defined as support used by the disabled person as support in walking. These are generally designed to fit under the underarms and often used in pairs. Variations of popular armpit crutch have been constructed over the last 50 years.

    Hello Gerry,
    it's interesting that in the UK armpit crutches are not normally available, presumably because of the risk of nerve damage. Personally I do feel that if used properly these crutches would have been more helpful than either the forearm or elbow styles which were supplied.
    Thanks JAne
