The concept for this project is to create a new kind of crutch designed to enhance the mobility of such patients both for temporary and long-term disabilities. The design maintains abilities congruent with ergonomics to improve convenience and usability but dealing specifically with the disadvantages the standard crutches, for example, pain, problems with stairs, and instability.
This feature of crutch entails the use of a push button lock whereby the user can easily change the height of the crutch once locked. It also makes it possible to setup to fit different users, height and size of the users; this enables better posture and reduce on the strain on the body while using the crutch. The push-button system is created to fasten the crutch at the preferred height firmly with no slippage, to add more safety to the user.
Additional features of the design include:
Dynamic adjustability: This aspect is well address by the fact that crutch height can be adjusted regardless of the surface; may it be stairs or otherwise.
Stability and grip: A high friction non slip rubber cap provides for safe and sure ground contact, the push button locks the crutch into position and ensures no movement along the crutch shaft during usage.
Ergonomic support: The handle of the crutch and the underarm support Curve to adjust the pressure quandary of the user’s body weight and this reduces stress more so, when the user spends many hours utilizing the crutch handle.
