Correct crutch sizing starts with hand grip height near the wrist crease. Elbow crutches then place the cuff just below the elbow. Underarm crutches leave a small gap below the armpit so weight goes through the hands, not the soft tissue under the arms.
Practical guidance only. For medical decisions after surgery, injury or long-term conditions, consult a doctor or physiotherapist.
| Crutch type | Hand grip | Upper fit |
|---|---|---|
| Elbow / forearm | Near wrist crease | Cuff just below elbow |
| Underarm | Near wrist crease | Pad about two fingers below armpit |
