Crutches for Film & TV Productions

Forearm & underarm crutches for film & TV

The crutch a real character would actually own.

It looks like something the character chose, not something the hospital issued: ergonomic grips, spring-loaded posts, articulating tips, and clean molded lines with nothing poking out to flare under a light. It also behaves on set — matching sets for continuity, quiet underfoot for the mix, quick to fit whatever actor you cast, and on a truck to you when you need it.

What a props department needs

Looks right in frame, and doesn't fight you on set.

Two things decide whether a crutch works on screen: how it reads on camera, and how it behaves once you're rolling. As a medical prop or background set dressing, the in-Motion handles both.

It reads like a real character's

Ergonomic grips, spring posts, and articulating tips on clean molded lines, with no rivet heads or hinges poking out. It looks like a considered, expensive piece of kit, which is what you want when the crutch is meant to say something about who's holding it.

Multiples that actually match

Order identical units for doubles, stunts, and the reshoot you know is coming, and they'll match shot to shot. We can hold a matched set for the full run so you're not hunting inventory mid-shoot.

Easy to live with on the day

Damped posts and rubber tips keep it quiet for the boom. It adjusts in seconds to fit whoever's cast, the low-glare finish won't kick a hot spot under the key, and at 1.8 lbs it's easy on stunt performers and long days.

Authentic representation

If the role is a real long-term user, this is what they'd carry.

Anyone who's on crutches for life moves off the pharmacy aluminum onto something like this. For a disabled character, that detail reads true to the people who would notice, and it gives the actor something better to actually move on. Glad to work with your disability consultant to get the call right.

The line

Two models, two sizes each.

Same core build across the line: ergonomic grips, spring posts, and Sure Foot articulating tips. The difference is up top — a molded forearm cuff, or the classic underarm crook.

Forearm

in-Motion Forearm

Two sizes · 7000C and 7500C

The forearm model — also called a Lofstrand crutch — with a one-piece molded cuff that wraps the forearm. The active, modern look, and the one most long-term users actually carry. Right for athletes, recurring characters, and anyone who should look at home on them. It comes in two height sizes covering actors from about 4'2" to 6'8", and each ships with a standard and a large cuff so the fit looks right on whoever's cast.

Underarm

in-Motion Underarm

Two sizes · 6000C and 6500C

The classic shepherd's-crook underarm shape, with the underarm pad and grip up top and no forearm cuff. A clear step up from the wooden or aluminum standby. Good for recovery arcs and background, with the same ergonomic grip, spring posts, and articulating tips as the forearm model. Comes in two height sizes, fitting casting from about 4'6" to 7'1".
