Overview
Hallways, staircases and school corridors are the ground these Medline aluminum crutches are built for. Padded cushions rest under the arms, a pushbutton pin sets the height, and slip-resistant feet with stair deflectors add grip on each step.
Quick height changes with a pushbutton pin and a light aluminum frame make these easy to fit and carry between rooms. The listing is thin beyond that, with no word on handgrip position or replacement tips, and one line of the description calls them a youth model even though the size range is for adults.
Who it's for
Recovery after a sprain or fracture, when weight has to come off one leg for a few weeks, is the use case here. People shorter or taller than the listed band should choose a different size.
Pros and cons
- Pushbutton pins for quick height changes
- Lightweight aluminum frame
- Padded cushions reduce underarm strain
- Slip-resistant feet with stair deflectors
- Handgrip adjustment not listed
- Narrow height band per size
- Description confusingly calls them youth crutches
Performance notes
Fit decides comfort: the height should be set for a snug, supportive fit beneath the arms, which the pushbutton pin allows in small steps. Grip on stairs and smooth floors comes from the slip-resistant feet and stair deflectors. The aluminum frame carries the load while staying light enough to lift on every stride.

Frequently asked questions
Are Medline medium aluminum crutches forearm crutches?

Can kids use the Medline medium crutches?
The listing says they support adults and kids, but the fit range is 5 ft 2 in to 5 ft 10 in tall, so height decides, not age.
