How to measure the correct crutch height... Its important to adjust the crutch to the correct height as crutches that are too short or too tall can put you off balance or cause strain to other areas such as the back. First, put your shoes on. Then place the crutch next to your leg, and make sure the handle is level with the bony part of hip (along the same line as your pubic region). Next make sure the forearm rest is just below the elbow crease. Go to www.rehabmypatient.com for more information.
