Walking sticks
As the name implies, a crutch is a crutch that is supported by the hand. crutches are divided into single-legged crutches and multi-legged crutches. The advantage of a crutch is that it is flexible and lightweight. But compared to other types of crutches, the stability of a crutch is poor. So it is suitable for people with good grip strength, and strong upper and lower limb function and only consider the crutch as a walking aid. Such as the elderly, and patients with stroke sequelae with the ability to walk.
Elbow crutches
Elbow crutches are walking aids with a handle, a column, and a backward-tilting forearm brace. It is called an elbow crutch because the elbow rest on the upper part of the brace rests on the back of the elbow. The elbow crutch is more flexible than the axillary crutch and more stable than the hand crutch. It supports and strengthens the wrist and provides greater support for the lower extremity. Therefore it is suitable for people with paraplegia or lower limb fractures who have well-developed upper limb strength or slightly poorer lower limb strength resulting in unstable walking.
Axillary crutches
The axillary crutch is a crutch that is supported by the hand and the tip reaches the armpit area, which is also a common crutch. It is good for reducing the load on the lower limbs or maintaining body balance. The stability of the axillary crutch is good, and suitable for use when going up and down stairs. However, improper use is prone to axillary compression resulting in damage to blood vessels and nerves in the axilla. And the axillary crutch is less flexible and prone to safety problems when used in crowded places. Axillary crutches are suitable for people who have unstable walking for any reason and for whom a crutch or elbow crutches do not provide sufficient stability.
These are just a few of the commonly used crutches. When choosing a crutch, you must carefully consider and choose the right one so that you can make the most of the crutch and make it a good helper when walking.
