DonJoy Paediatric Elbow Crutches are designed for users under 1.35 metres tall and include adjustable handle and cuff heights. Brace sizing may use limb circumference, side or another body measurement, so use the chart for the selected product. A health professional can help fit crutches and braces with range-of-motion settings.
A comfortable brace should feel secure without causing pain, numbness, colour change or pressure marks. Return to PE or sport depends on the injury, healing and treatment plan, so follow advice from the child’s doctor, physiotherapist or specialist. Arrange an assessment after a significant fall or sports injury, or when pain, swelling, movement or weight-bearing is a concern.
