Ergobaum Dual Underarm Crutches

Ergoactives

7.2/10 Fit Score

The most advanced underarm crutch here, built for people who live on crutches and want maximum shock-absorption and support. The 380 lb capacity and arm platform are real advantages; the price and complexity are the cost. Overkill for a simple short-term recovery.

Mobilegs Ultra Crutches

Mobilegs

7.6/10 Fit Score

The most thoughtfully ergonomic underarm crutch here. The pivoting saddle and rocker feet take pressure off your arm and smooth your stride, which is the reason to buy it for daily or long-term use. The cheaper Mobilegs Universal drops the ventilated saddle if you want the design for less.
