Crutches

Crutches are portable supports used to help individuals walk when they have an injury or condition affecting their leg or foot. They are typically made of lightweight material with padded handles and a top that rests under the armpits, allowing weight to be transferred from the injured limb to the crutches. This relieves pressure and aids mobility while promoting healing. Proper use involves adjusting the height for comfort and safety, ensuring that the top rests comfortably under the arms and that the hand grips are positioned at wrist level. Crutches are an essential aid for maintaining independence during recovery.
