ABSTRACT:
A platform crutch attachment having a wide selection of adjustments may be attached to a conventional invalid walker. The handle can be tilted, moved backwards or forwards, or rotated sideways and then securely locked to provide the user with the optimum grip position. A comfortable break-away cuff is located near the handle and positioned so that it is directly above the attaching points to the invalid walker. Upper and lower mounting brackets connect the shaft of the platform crutch to the upper and lower brace of the invalid walker respectively. The upper mounting bracket includes a bite plate having teeth which securely dig into the shaft of the crutch. The platform crutch can be mounted on either the left or right side of the invalid walker and adjusted so that the user obtains maximum comfort and security from the combination.
