How crutches fit is important. You should be able to put 2
fingers between the crutch and your armpit. The handgrip
should be at wrist level. When you walk with crutches, your
weight must be on your hands. If you walk with your weight
on your armpits, you will squeeze important nerves which
will cause pain and permanent damage to your arms and hands.
If your crutches don’t fit, ask your prosthetics center to
replace or change them, or fix them yourself.
