if say I needed to open a door or something, I was able to let go of the crutch handle, but the cuff would prevent it from falling on the ground.
Yes, that would be a big advantage. What to do with the crutches when not walking is always a problem - and they're always falling about and almost hitting people.
When I go outdoors now, I use the cane, not the crutches. It still falls but it's smaller.
the best thing about the ones you have...is that you're well on your way to not needing them any more!
Yes! Oh happy day. I've been moving around today without crutches or the cane. My foot gets tired fast, and I'm limping, but it works. What a thrill.
