ABSTRACT:
An improved forearm or under arm crutch. The crutch features an extension which slides horizontally out of one of the handles and solidly connects to the tip of the other handle to form a stable seat where the user can rest. The crutch also features shock absorbing means. A shock absorbing means is at the foot of the crutch to cushion at the handle and another above the handle to independently cushion the forearm cuff or under arm pad. The crutch also features adjustable handles that articulate relative to the frame to comfortably accommodate users with various needs. The handle may also include a shock absorbing means integrated within the handle pad.
