Custom Wooden Forearm Crutches by Ed Openshaw

Custom rosewood forearm crutches are works of art made to measure from select South American rosewood. Steam bent and hand fashioned, the rounded legs are tapered with a drawknife then meticulously hand sanded, buffed and finished with a hand rubbed wax.

Nylon Arm Cuff

The broad back of the cuff cradles the arm giving a great deal of support. It tapers down at the front to minimize the appearance on the front of our forearm. This newly designed Nylon cuff has the lines of a race car. It took me over a year and $30,000.00 to produce this cuff. Made of solid black 606 Nylon, it is super durable and handsome. It hinges onto a machined nylon post.

I prefer the side-opening style cuff because they hook over the forearm and hang on tight. This enables the active use of our hands without removing the crutch. For the die-hards I can make the cuff front opening. These great new cuffs are available in small, medium, large and extra-large sizes for a proper fit.

Padded Leather Cuff Inserts

Padded leather cuff inserts are a closed cell sponge wrapped in natural black leather and cushion the back of the forearm and absorb perspiration. Held in-place with Velcro, they are easily removed for swimming, showering or for extra cuff room to accommodate a bulky winter coat.

Performance Gel Hand Grips

Performance gel hand gripsprovide your upper body with comfort and protection. Finger notches provide a good grip with minimal energy expenditure. Designed to fill the Palmar arch of the hand to reduce fatigue and add comfort. They can be used with either hand.

My patented Tornado and Performance gel tips have Absorbalite™ gel polymer inside. Absorbalitetm gel has the ability to “eat shock” by transforming it into heat energy instead of transmitting it up the crutch shaft into our upper bodies. Reducing these negative ground impact forces will help mitigate overuse syndrome keeping us vertical into the future.
