Kid-man ELGO Adjustable Elbow Crutch, Blue, Aluminium, 140 kg Capacity

The Kid-man ELGO adjustable elbow crutch is a lightweight and durable mobility aid crafted from high-quality aluminium. Designed to provide reliable support for individuals recovering from injuries, surgery, or managing mobility disorders, this crutch combines structural integrity with user-focused comfort. It features an open-type forearm cuff for stability and an ergonomic padded palm rest to minimize hand fatigue during daily use.

Advantages

The primary advantage of the ELGO crutch lies in its lightweight aluminium construction, which ensures ease of movement without compromising on strength. The adjustable height system allows for precise customization in 2.5 cm increments, ensuring the device fits users between 150 and 185 cm tall. Safety is further enhanced by integrated front and back reflectors, which improve visibility in low-light conditions, and a high-traction rubber tip that provides secure ground contact on various surfaces.

Suitable for

• Individuals recovering from lower limb injuries or surgery
• People requiring temporary or long-term mobility assistance
• Users between 150 cm and 185 cm in height
• Daily walking support for those with limited balance

When it may not be suitable

This crutch may not be suitable for individuals weighing more than 140 kg, as it exceeds the maximum weight capacity. Additionally, it is not intended for use by individuals who require full-weight bearing support on both arms simultaneously if their grip strength or forearm stability is insufficient for an open-cuff design.

Key specifications

• Maximum load capacity: 140 kg
• Product weight: 0.55 kg
• Adjustable height range: 76 - 96 cm
• Material: Aluminium
• Cuff type: Open forearm cuff

How to use

To use the ELGO crutch, first adjust the height by pressing the push-button mechanism to move the lower section until the handle aligns with your wrist while your arm hangs naturally at your side. Ensure the locking pin is fully engaged in the desired hole before applying weight. When walking, place the crutch slightly forward and to the side of your foot, maintaining a comfortable grip on the padded handle. Always ensure the rubber tip is clean and free of debris to maintain optimal grip.

What to consider before purchase

• The price listed is for a single crutch; please order two if you require a pair.
• Verify that your height falls within the 150–185 cm range for proper ergonomic fit.
• Check the rubber tip periodically for wear and replace it if the tread becomes smooth.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the aluminium frame for any signs of damage and ensure the height adjustment pin is securely locked before every use. Keep the rubber tip clean to prevent slipping on smooth or wet surfaces.
