Understanding Crutches: Types, Uses, and Benefits
A crutch is a device used to support a part of the body, typically when it is weakened or injured. Crutches are often used to help people walk who have difficulty putting weight on one or both legs due to injury or illness. They can be made of various materials such as wood, metal, or plastic and come in different sizes and styles to fit different needs and preferences. Some common types of crutches include platform crutches, which have a flat surface for the foot, and axillary crutches, which are supported under the arm. Crutches can be used temporarily or long-term, depending on the individual's needs.
