Design: They include an axilla bar, a handpiece, and double uprights joined distally by a single leg.
Adjustability: They are adjustable in height; both the overall height and handgrip height can be adjusted. They should be positioned with 2 fingers of distance between the axilla and the axilla pad with the elbow flexed between 20-30 degrees.
Armpit Crutches
Armpit crutches, also known as axillary or underarm crutches, are a type of walking aid that serve to increase the size of an individual’s base of support. They transfer weight from the legs to the upper body and are often used by people who cannot use their legs to support their weigh.
