Adult Standard Crutches

Goldfern Adult Standard Crutch

The Goldfern Adult Standard Crutch is a straightforward adjustable forearm crutch for everyday walking support. It combines a conventional handgrip, forearm cuff and push-button height adjustment in a lightweight design that is easy to set up for different users.

MoveSmart offers the crutch as either a Single or a Pair, so it can be purchased to suit the walking technique or support plan being used. The handgrip height adjusts from approximately 780 to 1020 mm from the floor, with a 100 mm cuff.

A Simple, Adjustable Forearm Crutch

This is the more conventional option compared with Goldfern's anatomical crutch. The straight handgrip keeps the design familiar and easy to use, while the forearm cuff helps keep the crutch aligned with the arm during walking.

For users who prefer a more shaped palm support, the Goldfern Adult Anatomical Crutches may be worth considering instead.

Single or Pair

Some users need two crutches, while others use one crutch for additional support on a single side. Offering both configurations means you can choose what matches the recommended walking technique rather than buying a pair unnecessarily.

If the crutches are being used after an injury or surgery, follow the weight-bearing and walking instructions provided by the healthcare professional managing recovery.

Goldfern Elbow Crutches Instruction Manual

Getting the Fit Right

The handgrip should be easy to reach while standing without forcing the shoulders upward. The cuff should sit just below the elbow and should not interfere with normal bending of the arm.

After changing the height, make sure the push button is fully engaged before using the crutch. Check the rubber tip regularly and replace it if it becomes worn, split, hard or loose.
