Crutches are more than just a mobility aid; they are an extension of oneself when recovering from an injury or managing a physical disability. However, just like any tool, the effectiveness and comfort of crutches are determined by how well they fit the user. One of the most critical measurements when selecting underarm crutches is the user's axillary (underarm) height.

 What is Axillary Height?

Axillary height, often referred to as underarm height, denotes the distance from the ground to a user's underarm. This measurement is pivotal because the top of an underarm crutch should nestle comfortably beneath the arm, ensuring optimal support and minimizing discomfort. If crutches are too tall, they can press harshly into the underarm, leading to discomfort or even injury. Conversely, crutches that are too short can lead to poor posture and ineffective support.

To help users identify the best fit based on their axillary height, we've created a matrix:

Breaking it down:

- CR1747M: Suitable for users whose underarm height ranges between 1100mm and 1300mm.

- CR1747XL: Crafted for the tallest group, accommodating axillary heights from 1775mm to 1980mm.

 Tips for Accurate Measurement

1. Stand Upright: When measuring, ensure you stand straight, with your shoulders relaxed.
2. Wear Regular Footwear: The height of shoes can influence the measurement. To get the most accurate axillary height, wear the shoes you use most often.
3. Use a Flat Surface: Stand on a flat surface to ensure the tape measure or ruler is straight.
4. Seek Assistance: If possible, have someone else do the measurement. It's more challenging to measure oneself accurately.

 Final Thoughts

Choosing the right pair of crutches is integral to ensure not only effective support but also comfort. The Aluminium Adjustable Underarm Crutches range caters to a diverse spectrum of axillary heights, ensuring that users can find a model tailored to their needs.

Remember, while measurements provide a reliable guide, personal comfort and the advice of healthcare professionals should always be considered. After all, the goal is to find a pair of crutches that feels like an extension of oneself, aiding in mobility with ease and comfort.
