Some pulpit shaped frames have a different folding mechanism.

A closed cuff is an incomplete ring which prevents the forearm slipping forwards out of place and holds the crutch on the arm if, for example, you need to take your hand off the crutch to open a door. Wheeled frames are usually chosen over non-wheeled frames when balance, instead of reduced weight-bearing ability, is the main concern. They are also useful for people who find it difficult to use a traditional frame as they make a more continuous walking pattern possible, and do not need to be lifted clear off the ground to move forwards. The wheels on these frames do not pivot around a corner, so the frame needs to be lifted when turning.

Crutches must be at the correct height for use. Both axilla and elbow crutches usually have two adjustment points. To ensure that the appropriate device is selected, your needs, your lifestyle and your home environment should be assessed. Difficulties in walking may be due to a variety of reasons including balance, movement and joint/skeletal problems. It is useful to understand the difficulties that you are experiencing, as it will influence the type of walking aid that is best for you. Consider the size of the frame base if it is going to be used in a domestic setting, as some may be too wide to go through small doorways. Frames with four legs that are spread widely apart will be the most stable but may be difficult to get through doorways. If the doorway is particularly narrow, the user may have to walk through sideways. Narrow four-legged frames are available, but are not as stable. The majority of walking frames are made of aluminium. Some are made of steel which may be stronger for heavy duty use, but will weigh more. Some suppliers will offer a range of colours.
