Crutches

Crutches are mobility aids used to support individuals who have difficulty walking due to leg injuries, surgery, or weakness. They help transfer body weight from the legs to the upper body, reducing pressure on the injured limb and allowing safe movement.

Physiotherapists often teach patients the correct technique to ensure safe and effective walking.

Description

Crutches are supportive devices used in physiotherapy and rehabilitation to assist individuals who are unable to bear full weight on their legs due to injury, surgery, or weakness. They help transfer the body’s weight to the arms and shoulders, reducing stress on the affected limb and enabling safe mobility.

There are two main types of crutches: underarm (axillary) crutches, which provide maximum support and are used for short-term injuries, and forearm (Lofstrand) crutches, which are lightweight, offer better maneuverability, and are suitable for long-term use.
