Crutches are mobility aids used to provide support and stability for individuals who need to keep weight off one or both legs, often due to injury or surgery. Typically used in pairs, they transfer weight from the legs to the upper body, allowing for controlled ambulation while an injured limb heals. Common types include underarm (axillary) crutches and forearm (Lofstrand) crutches. Proper fitting and technique are crucial to prevent secondary injuries and ensure effective mobility during recovery.

Crutches are mobility aids used to transfer weight from the legs to the upper body, providing support and stability for individuals who are unable to bear full weight on one or both legs due to injury, surgery, or disability. The two main types are axillary crutches (underarm crutches), which fit under the armpit, and forearm crutches (Lofstrand or Canadian crutches), which have an open cuff that encircles the forearm. Crutches require significant upper body strength, balance, and coordination to use effectively. They are commonly prescribed for temporary conditions like fractures, sprains, or post-surgical recovery, allowing the user to remain mobile while keeping weight off an injured limb. Proper fitting and gait training are essential to prevent discomfort and ensure safe, efficient ambulation, enabling users to maintain independence during their recovery period.
