Tell her to check with the local DME providers. There are several nice
looking systems available. Many colors to chose from too....pkm
===========================================
I don't know if they have wooden crutches but Thomas Fetterman, Inc. has some
really nice collapsible crutches. I bet they could tell you where to find
wooden customs. Their # is 1-888-355-6941.
Good luck,

This is Julia at United Amputee Services. As far as finding the
crutches- my only idea would be to call the Center for Independent Living
and ask them. I am not familiar with the exact location of Abilene TX
is- so I will give you a few different telephone numbers.

=================================================
I am not sure which type you are seeking but I wanted to tell you about
Walk Easy aluminum forearm crutches. They sell adjustable crutches but will
supply fixed length crutches at an additional cost of $10 per pair. Mine
are adjustable and I was so pleased with them that I purchased two more
pairs--they come in several colors.
Go to <URL Redacted> or call them at 1-800-441-2904
Also you might want to look at Thomas Fetterman's web site at:

His company also sells fixed length as well as adjustable crutches. I
believe he sells wooden custom length crutches as well.

I work with patients who have a wide variety of diagnoses. The crutch they like the best is the Walk Easy. It is a very light weight durable crutch that comes in many colors and 3-4 adult models. Our clinic has many brands of crutches for patients to try and most pick the Walk Easy brand to purchase. Let me know if you need more info.
