Got plain-jane crutches? Sick and tired of your drab, boring, underarm crutches? With just a little creativity, you can dress those crutches up into something fantastically unique and perfectly “you”. Here are five ideas to get you started.

  1. Add a crutch pad cover. We offer a variety of covers for underarm pads and crutch handgrips. Whether it’s black-as-night gel grips or fluffy fleece, you’re sure to find something to help personalize your crutch.
  2. Now that the pads are taken care of, it’s time to look at the rest of your crutch. Use permanent marker to add fun patterns to wooden crutches. Have your friends sign them – or write the lyrics of your favorite song on them.

But they’re more of a hassle than you ever thought they’d be, aren’t they? Whether chafing under your arms or keeping both hands occupied whenever you stand up, there’s no denying that big, clunky crutches seem to cause more problems than they solve.

The owners of heavy duty dual release walkers will be the first to tell you: finding accessories for a non-standard size is nearly impossible.
