A set of crutches, having tubular aluminum construction with a Y-type lower support means, which extend upward to elbow height, being adjustable in height, and having an extended horizontal top surface, of sufficient length to accommodate the distance between the largest portion of the forearm and hand of the user, having at its rear an energy absorbing pad to communicate with the user's forearm, being incorporated into an adjustable collar for the forearm, a padded horizontal arm rest extending forward from the adjustable collar, and having a padded vertical hand-hold to function as a hand-rest, to enable the weight of the user to be supported by the forearms and not the hands so that the crutches are usable by an individual who has lost hand strength due to arthritis or other degenerative process, and being equipped with a storage pouch suspended from within the frame of the crutches by Velcro means.
