Cane type walking aids, that is, all kinds of crutches.
1. What kind of person is suitable for crutches?
Those who have strong arms and good grasping power, but who have moderate leg and foot impairments, such as polio, fractures, ligaments, etc. who cannot fully bear weight after surgery, and who cannot walk alternately with the left and right feet, such as paraplegia.
Walking sticks are mainly used for people who have light balance obstacles and only need to take safety measures while walking. For example, in the later stage of recovery from illness, they are only appropriate aids and play a certain warning role.
2. How high is a crutches suitable?
Due to differences in the height and body shape of each person, generally a crutch with a telescopic pole and an adjustable length should be selected, which can be adjusted according to the height. The method is as follows:
Method 1: When standing, leave a 5cm gap between the armpit and the top of the axillary crutches (about the height of three fingers), and the distance from the top of the cane to the sole of the foot is the height of the crutches
Method 2: When lying down, measure the height and increase the height of the shoes by 2cm on the basis of the above
Method 3: Directly subtract 41cm from height (height -41cm) ---- slightly less accurate
