Childrens crutches

[interstellar]

Hi, just wondered if anyone here had any advice to offer me.My son has a hip condition and he needs to sometimes use crutches to prevent weight bearing- are elbow or axillary crutches best for prolonged use,which are more comfy? Thanks, i appreciate any opinions offered!

Elbow crutches are definately better - you can get some with more padded hand grips or just stick some thick socks over them!! If he is seeing a physio ask for their advice. Good luck

Hi thank you ,pushka, the consenus seeems to be elboow crutches from those in the know!I will take advice from the psyio but just wanted others opinions!
