My Final Idea- Different Types Of Crutches

The underarm crutch, sometimes called an axillary crutch, is often the best type of crutch for temporary injuries and disabilities. If an individual’s upper body is strong, then he or she will be able to successfully use underarm crutches for everyday mobility. Not only are these crutches easy to find and replace, they are also good for providing a faster and more adaptable walking speed than other types of crutches.

Another benefit of an underarm crutch is the fact that this type of crutch provides maximum support for the lower body, especially if only one leg is injured. Many other types of crutches are designed for individuals with permanent disabilities or limited motion, and as a result they allow for partial use of both legs for convenience and strength building. Underarm crutches, however, are designed for temporary injuries that require more rest and have a lower ability to tolerate bearing weight.
