Junior Grip Crutch

Goldfern Junior Grip Crutch

The Goldfern Junior Grip Crutch is an adjustable elbow crutch designed for younger or smaller users who need a more compact fit than a standard adult forearm crutch. It combines a lightweight shaft, supportive forearm cuff, shaped handgrip and push-button adjustment in a simple everyday walking aid.

MoveSmart offers the Junior Grip Crutch as either a Single or a Pair, allowing the setup to match the user's prescribed or preferred walking pattern. Because older published measurements for this model conflict, exact adjustment range is deliberately not repeated here; fit should be checked for the individual user rather than relying on an uncertain legacy sizing table.

Why a Junior-Sized Crutch Matters

A crutch that is too tall or too large around the forearm can make walking awkward and may encourage poor posture. The Junior Grip is intended to give smaller users a more appropriately proportioned starting point than an adult-size elbow crutch.

The handgrip should sit at a height that allows a comfortable arm position while standing, and the forearm cuff should sit below the elbow without blocking normal elbow movement. If fitting is uncertain, a physiotherapist or other suitable mobility professional can help set the crutch correctly.

Single or Pair?

MoveSmart sells both configurations because some users require one crutch while others use two. The correct number depends on the person's mobility, balance, weight-bearing instructions and walking technique rather than simply choosing the cheaper or easier option.

If a clinician or therapist has recommended a particular gait pattern, follow that guidance when deciding between a single crutch and a pair.

Adjustment and Routine Checks

The push-button adjustment must be fully engaged in its selected hole before weight is applied. Check both sides if using a pair and ensure they are set consistently where appropriate.

The rubber ground-contact tip is also a wear item. Replace it if the tread becomes smooth, the rubber hardens or cracks, or the tip becomes loose. Do not continue using a crutch with a damaged shaft, loose cuff or unreliable adjustment button.
