Ergonomic Crutches Design for Enhanced Mobility and Comfort

Ergonomic Crutches Design for Enhanced Mobility and Comfort

Existing solutions

  • The existing solutions concerning mobility aids include crutches, which are typically made of metal or wood and are, therefore, not equipped with required essentials such as height adjustment and comfortable gripping.
  • Another one is forearm crutches, which are more suitable for patients who plan to use those walking sticks on a constant basis. However, these crutches rely on convenience factors that are rather large and uncomfortable after hours of use.
  • Foldable crutches are convenient for portability purposes
  • Smart crutches have come as a much more sophisticated product, and few of them are designed with the sensors that are used to study gait.
