Measurements for properly fitting crutches are made from the palm of the hand to the floor with your arm parallel to the body.
Forearm height adjustments are measured from the top of the hand grip to the top of the cuff.
The cuff should be 1 to 2 inches below your bent elbow.
It is best to have your elbow at a 30 degree curve.
