Benefits of forearm crutches over underarm crutches

The underarm crutch might be preferred initially but if anyone has to be on crutches for more than 3-4 weeks they are looking for an alternative. Underarm crutches become extremely uncomfortable especially in the arm pits and sides of the upper torso. This is why 98% of long term crutch users (amputees, SPI, MS, EDS patients etc) prefer forearm crutches…comfort, less long term damage to axilla nerve, easier on hands and safer.
