A mobility aid is provided for use in sup- porting at least part of a user's body weight. The mobility aid generally includes a leg, a support configured to receive at least part of a forearm of a user's arm, a handle configured to be grasped by the user, and a force distribution member configured to engage a user's side and provide support to the user. The support extends away from the leg and is arranged at an angle with the leg of between about fifteen degrees and about forty-five degrees. The handle extends away from the leg and is arranged at an angle with the leg of between about fifteen degrees and about forty-five degrees. The force distribution member is pivotally coupled to the support such that the mobility aid can be used on either a right side or a left side of the user's body.
