Product requirements

Weight capacity: The supports, typically, should carry user weight up to 114–136 kg, depending on who the target user group is.
Folding Mechanism: The crutches should have a good folding mechanism that is not subject to breakdown or does not easily damage.
Ergonomic Design: The addition of comfortable grips and armrests helps to lessen strain, plus padding intended to reduce pressure on both hands and arms.
Adjustability: we aim to make our product adjustable to accommodate users of different heights.
Ease of Use: The mechanism for folding and unfolding should be simple and intuitive, without requiring excessive force.
Stability and Balance: Ensure that the crutches provide sufficient support and balance, especially when folded and unfolded.
Affordability: Price of our product should be competitive, especially if aiming for the mass market.
Aesthetic Appeal: The design should be modern and visually appealing, considering color options and finishes to attract more buyers in the market.

Foldable crutches serve the purpose of portability, making it easy for users to store in compact places and carry them too. The folded dimensions ought to be small enough to conveniently fit inside a bag or carry by hand
Durability: The materials should withstand frequent use without losing structural integrity. Lightweight yet sturdy materials like aluminum or carbon fiber can be used
