About the solution
mole1's husband needed to wear crutches for the first time, but he complained a lot of sore elbows from hitting the back of the crutches.
To help her husband, mole1 wrapped the crutches with some pipe insulation. Using pipe insulation over the aluminum tubing protect the elbows and provides very comfortable padding on the hand grip.

A comment that responded to this idea for padding crutches (at the instructables link above) pointed out that my husband's arms were extended too far in reaching the handles. By shortening the distance from the crutch top to the handles, his elbow bent a tiny amount and no longer stuck out to get hit.
