ABSTRACT:
A waterproof, stain proof and nonporous crutch pad cover formed out of a material having a low coefficient of friction. The crutch pad cover includes an elongate slotted body member having first and second sides which are adapted to partially encircle the periphery of a crutch pad along a portion of its length, a first end portion having an inwardly directed flanged end section which is adapted to enclose a first end of the crutch pad and a second end portion which is adapted to cover a second, opposite end of the crutch pad. A flap securing system is utilized to secure the first and second sides of the body member about the crutch pad proximate the second end thereof. A plurality of outwardly projecting stop members positioned proximate the first and second end portions of the body member are provided to prevent the under arm area of a crutch user from slipping off the low friction crutch pad cover.
