KMINA Foldable Forearm Crutches, Carbon Fiber, Open Cuff (2 Units)

I have had these crutches for over a year and a half, and this review is way overdue. Prior to purchasing these crutches, I was using inexpensive, HEAVY crutches that were a pain to carry and use. I decided to purchase these carbon fiber crutches in hopes that their lightweight design would make them easier to use every day. I have not been disappointed in any way. These crutches have exceeded my expectations, and they are a joy to use after a year and a half of daily use. I finally wore a hole in the rubber tip and have to change it today. That's the only thing I have had to fix on these crutches. Granted, they are a little bit more expensive than the big-name medical brands, but they are well worth every cent. They are capable of folding, but I have never had to or wanted to. They weigh just about nothing and hold my 247lb body with no problem. If you are disabled, even temporarily, these are fantastic crutches for a reasonable price. If you are uncertain and can't decide, I recommend purchasing KMINA Crutches, and you will not regret it. I hope this helps in your decision-making and you enjoy them as much as I do!

2 year update: this product still works excellent.. Just a few small scuffs that are not very noticeable. However one of my crutches has gotten a slight creaking sound after putting my full body weight several times, but it is not very noticeable. There was a time period of about a week to a month where I needed to use both crutches and put most of my weight on them. I would not recommend it for this purpose, as it hurts the wrists and does not provide the right type of support, but it gets the job done in a pinch. My typical use is I have 1 crutch in the car and 1 crutch in the house, and I use it as a cane alternative. I walk inside a building with my crutch folded and try to walk as much as I can without hurting myself. The only downside to doing this is that the cane looks kind of like a gun when folded lol Original post: Using one crutch in place of my cane is so much better. Less pressure on my wrist so I can support myself much better. This was a great purchase even if I don't use the other crutch. Super light weight, comfortable, and SILENT! I don't even like wearing shoes that make a noise, and the crutch passed the test. I wish it was more closed at the top OR had a strap because it would tip a bit the wrong way while moving. I bought the add on strap and I would not recommend it, it slips and adds extra bulk.

I really love these crutches! They are light and sturdy, just what you would expect from a high quality carbon fiber built item. It is balanced well and very light. They are lighter than my normal aluminum crutches and feel much more comfortable. The case is a nice touch, but the case is just a bag with a draw string. They should make an actual carrying case that will hold two that I can wear as a backpack. They would sell along with these crutches, if they make it. I literally was searching for travel friendly crutches. These are definitely travel friendly, but they won't fit in a typical backpack, nor a normal carryon luggage. They are approximately 22.4" when folded and the height of a typical back pack is 18". Carry on luggage is about 20-22". This will fit fine in your large checked luggage. I jerry rigged my 18" backpack so that they will hold these crutches if I put them in the side water bottle holders and secure them with an elastic velcro band that is 24.6" long and can stretch to 40". You will need a strap that can wrap around the circumference of your backpack, and a backpack with water bottle holder(s). You can find these elastic straps here on Amazon by searching for "elastic velcro straps". These crutches do not have shock absorbers, just in case you are wondering. Anyhow, happy travels!

I'm pretty pleased with how light weight and easy to fold these are. The only thing I wish was different is the hard plastic on the forearm and grip - it really good use some better padding at this price. But they do the job and are easy to carry around. The storage bag is also really helpful.

Ok… I’ve been waiting for over TWO YEARS, nearly THREE to leave this review of the “Kmina Forearm Crutches,” specifically the “folding carbon fiber design.” One reason for my delay is due to laziness, I’ll admit. But another reason is because I really wanted to test durability, strength, weight, and overall functionality of this design over an extended period of time. To provide a little context… I am a SCI survivor and an “incomplete” para. When I first noticed these crutch’s on Amazon, both my PT and I were pretty skeptical of the quality, especially given the price point compared to other DME(s) (durable medical equip.) Also, Amazon tends to have a ton of poorly crafted items for sale which is really hard to sift through… Mostly relying on reviews and hoping they are not bought and paid-for. (This is a 💯 completely voluntary review, scouts honor!) With that context in mind I must say; These KMINA Forearm crutch’s are like finding a hidden treasure trove of gold in a vast barren desert landscape. They could possibly be the best human technological advancement since the moon-landing. I have put these crutches through absolute hell and they are still as strong and functional as day one! Their appearance is not the same, with scuffs and dirt build up, but the functionality and strength remains absolutely flawless. I have dropped these, driven over them, waded into lakes and oceans with them, taken modest hikes and gone camping with them, taken them abroad, left them in tremendous heat on a beach, or by campfires, or by my wood-stove. I forgot them outside during the coldest days of winter… one time they were plowed into a snowbank. I have used them while practicing carrying weighted backpacks… pushing down an additional 100lbs or so on them… I have rolled my wheelchair over them like it was my job. Oh did I mention dropping them? At least 10,000 times… I’ve even swore and cussed at them and they just don’t falter. EVER. These could be the single best item I’ve ever purchased anywhere… That’s certainly the case for Amazon! Despite wishing I didn’t need them, I can’t express enough praise for this design and this company! In fact, if KMINA were looking for a spokesperson who’s disabled to demonstrate and advertise their durability, I would more than gladly sign-up! Especially if it meant I got free pair every… I dunno… decade, century?? Maybe just one free pair once I hit 1,000,000 miles, like Toyota. Or perhaps a modest discount? (*hint, hint*) Anyhow I digress. If you need forearm crutch’s that are feather-light, more rigid than a Rhinoceros’ horn or more solid than Thor’s hammer, look no further and buy these immediately, you won’t be disappointed!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Sincerely -a big fan of KMINA

Using these crutches helped me walk more upright, which kept me from getting tired and worn down during rehab and recovery. No more sore underarms! And for the few times I travelled with them, being able to fold them and store them under my seat was so handy.

These crutches are amazing! I have been using them for almost a year and haven't had any issues with them. I have put these things through the ringer - outside use, dropped, scuffed, tossed in a vehicle and so much more. These things have taken it all and there is no sign of all the abuse they've endured. My stability isn't the best and I wasn't really wanting to have to go from using a cane to a walker so I researched and found out about forearm crutches. Then it was just a matter of finding which ones to purchase. These are so easy to adjust their height, and they can be broken down into two pieces to make it easier to pack them. I work in retail and these things have kept me upright throughout my shifts. In fact, I've had several people ask about them and where I got them as they've had an interest in something like that rather than using a cane. The only negative thing I will say about them is that the arm rest piece is a bit uncomfortable, but it's a sturdy piece of plastic so no surprise there. I've purchased the Vive cushions to go over it and they make it so comfortable! If these things should ever get broke or lost, I'll definitely be buying them again!

These crutches are stylish, amazingly lightweight, and easy to adjust. They are easily collapsed and folded to carry in the quality bag that is included with them. They are mostly comfortable with long term use, always comfortable for the short term. They look great and feel great. Highly recommended.

He tenido que usar diferentes tipos de muletas por una lesión crónica y dar el salto a estas de fibra de carbono de KMINA ha sido un antes y un después en mi día a día. Si buscas comodidad y ligereza porque tienes que usarlas de forma prolongada, valen cada céntimo que cuestan. Lo que más destaco tras un uso intensivo: • Ligereza absoluta (Fibra de carbono): El peso es ridículo en comparación con las de aluminio tradicionales. Al cabo del día, mover los brazos con unas muletas tan ligeras reduce drásticamente la fatiga en los hombros y los tríceps. Además, el carbono absorbe los impactos muchísimo mejor, por lo que la vibración al golpear el suelo no se traslada a las muñecas. • Sistema de plegado robusto: Tenía cierto reparo por si al ser plegables se sentían inestables o bailaban al apoyar todo mi peso, pero para nada. El sistema de unión es súper firme, encaja a la perfección y se sienten como una sola pieza maciza cuando caminas. Una vez plegadas, ocupan poquísimo espacio, lo que es una bendición para meterlas en el coche, subirse al autobús o guardarlas debajo de la mesa en un restaurante. • Empuñadura ergonómica y cómoda: El agarre es muy blando y se adapta bien a la palma de la mano. Ayuda un montón a repartir la presión, evitando que salgan las típicas durezas o ampollas dolorosas tras las caminatas largas. Por ponerle un pequeño matiz: al ser unas muletas premium de fibra de carbono, el precio es superior al de unas estándar de farmacia. Sin embargo, si priorizas tu salud articular, la comodidad en las manos y necesitas un modelo que puedas transportar fácilmente sin que estorbe, la inversión está más que justificada. Un producto ortopédico de altísima calidad, con un diseño moderno que huye de la estética "de hospital" y que ofrece una ligereza y practicidad insuperables. Totalmente recomendadas.

確りしているのに携帯する時は軽いので重宝です。病院でお借りした旧来のまつば杖は脇が痛くて使いこなせませんでしたが、これは手の握りで体重を支えるので特別な練習なしで使えました。

These are exceptionally well designed and well made. Light weight and silent in use. Attractive appearance seems far less intimating to general public too. I also recommend these to folks who use a cane. The improvement in control is tremendous and could easily prevent a fall. In colder areas where ice can be a problem, add fold-up ice picks to the bottom for safety. I am absolutely delighted with this purchase. If you find the red reflectors a bit much, they are easy to blacken with a magic-marker. I also drilled small holes in the cuffs to add a short piece of elastic strapping so I can free up my hand without having to find a parking spot for the crutch. A very simple but important improvement.

I have now been using these crutches for the last month or so and are therefore able to comment with personal experience. I am by training and qualification a person who researches carefully before purchase. I am pleased with this product, it is well designed and it fulfill all my expectations. It is a true arm/elbow crutch not a walking stick. I am having to use both crutches simultaneously until my operation and recovery is successfully completed. l have no negative comments to make. The transition from being completely folded at minimum size to being ready to use takes seconds, once you have originally identified the setting. Each crutch is light weight and sturdy when it locks effortlessly together. This gives essential user confidence when in use. The adjustability range of the crutch is considerable, considering that I am 6'4" (194 cm) and 96 Kg. The crutches come with a very convenient material bag to store them in during a flight etc.

C’est une excellente qualité des matériaux et de la conception qui donnent une valeur ajoutée à ces béquilles en carbone. Elles sont conçues et fabriquées en Espagne. La vie devient plus facile en les utilisant. Elles sont très esthétiques et la fibre de carbone ajoute un côté sportif exigeant qui fait du bien au moral. Elles peuvent être utilisées comme béquilles, ou bien comme une canne. Elles sont réglables, confortables, légères et solides. Très bon achat.
