The three most important crutch fitting measurements are the overall crutch height, the handgrip height, and the axilla (underarm) distance. The crutch height should be adjusted so that there is a gap of about 1-2 inches between the top of the crutch and the underarm when standing upright. The handgrip should be positioned so that the elbow is slightly bent, typically at a 15-30 degree angle, when the hands are resting on the grips.
