With the new textile belt you can take even more advantage of the INDESmed lightweight crutches. You will easily use your hands or arms to open a door or shake hands freely.
Place the ribbon in the open INDESmed armrest openings. Because our crutches are ultra-lightweight, you can reach objects and use your arms with the crutches hanging from them smoothly, comfortably and easily. Its function is to allow you to free your hands and arms at any time and also to offer greater safety if you need a free hand to open the door or answer a call: the crutch will stay on your forearm without the need to be leaned somewhere and eliminating the risk of it falling.
This way you can keep the crutches on your arms; especially useful for athletes who need to keep the crutches fixed to their arms tightly, unlike the closed armrest which goes wider. In fact it is much appreciated by athletes using INDESmed crutches, who can have them stay more securely fixed to their forearms without shifting during workouts and performances.
If you need your INDESmed crutches to hang on your arms while you do a small activity, like opening a door or shaking a friend's hand, use the armrest with the belt on.
