How to use crutches safely

Safe crutch use starts with correct height, non-slip tips and a clear path. Keep load through the hands, take small steps, and use stairs only as your clinician taught you. Replace worn tips promptly.

Practical guidance only. For medical decisions after surgery, injury or long-term conditions, consult a doctor or physiotherapist.
