Daughter - ex-nurse, care worker - told me the handle should reach just above your wrist when arm straight down. |

The crutches are the "Canadian" ones... one for the left arm & one for the right. |

My crutches have two adjustments, one for leg length and one for the elbow support. When standing I can flick back the top and lean on the elbow part. Measuring for both crutch grips and stick handles are measured at the wrist. The leg length adjustment is great because inevitably you would have to adjust according to which pair of shoes you are wearing. Even a small difference in height will give you back pain if they aren't set as correctly as possible. |

I hate trying to get anything off shelves or even in toilets trying to wash hands as you move arm forwards and crutch goes flying backwards need an exclusion zone round me just in case. |

We usually eat at 1 of 3 favourite places, including our very favourite but expensive one. |

You can buy table crutch grips but It's much more fun watching people trip over my crutches :-D |
