Abstract

A crutch support strap comprising an adjustable shoulder strap and an adjustable waist strap to assist in carrying a crutch when using stairs. Preferably the support strap keeps the crutch out of the way enabling the user to grip the banister. A zip-up storage pouch may be provided to store the support strap when not in use. The pouch may be made from soft waterproof material to provide comfort when carrying the crutch on the users back. The straps may be made from woven webbing with buckle fasteners having slide adjusters. Both strap and pouch may be cleaned if necessary. To carry a crutch the user slips it through loops provided on the pouch and secures it with a further strap having hook and loop tape. The shoulder and waist straps fasten around the body.
