If you use crutches, here’s something really important: Check the rubber tips at the bottom of your crutches.
These tips help stop your crutches from slipping. But over time, they can get smooth, cracked, or worn out. When that happens, your crutch can suddenly slip—and that can lead to a painful fall.
Why This Is a Big Deal:
The rubber tips help you stay steady when you walk. If they’re worn down, your crutch is no longer safe—it’s like walking on a slippery floor with no grip.
One bad step could mean an injury, more pain, or a longer recovery.
What You Should Do:
✅ Check your crutch tips once a month
✅ If they’re smooth, uneven, or cracked—replace them right away
✅ New crutch tips are non-slip, shock-absorbing, and easy to put on
✅ They fit most aluminum or wooden crutches
It’s a small change that can keep you safe.
🛑 Old tips = high risk
🟢 New tips = better grip + peace of mind
