Abstract
Various features for improving the performance of crutches are provided. A handle can be contoured to match a shape of a hand. The handle can include a flexible portion to allow the handle to flex when gripped. In some aspects, the handle can include a shaft that receives a grip and locks the rotation of the grip. In some aspects, the handle can include a recess to receive an adapter that supports one or more items. A cuff of the crutch can be larger and narrower at one or more locations to offer varying levels of support along a forearm and wrist. The cuff can include a crutch support that allows the crutch to engage with a support. In some aspects, the cuff can include a rearward with particular friction properties. The cuff can include slots that allow for the height of the cuff to be adjusted.
