An improved hand grip for an ambulatory crutch. The improved handgrip is offset from the plane of the crutch with the forward end of the grip lower than the rear end of the grip, and with the rear end offset larger than the forward end. The handgrip has a curve outward from the plane of the crutch and preferably is made of or molded over with an ergonomically shaped weight bearing material and/or air bladder. The combination of offsets and angles provides significantly improved wrist/arm orientation compared to conventional crutch handgrips resulting in less fatigue and usage injury.
