The use of crutches and matters needing attention
2024-10-12
A crutch is a mobility aid that is often used to support the patient to walk and relieve leg pain or unstable balance. However, incorrect use or neglect of precautions can cause injury or cause mobility disorders, so be sure to understand the correct use and precautions before use.
Step 1: Adjust the height of the crutches
The height of the crutch should be roughly the length of the user's arm in order to be able to support the body strongly. In general, the user's arm should be naturally bent, slightly bent at the elbow when holding the crutch, and the bottom of the crutch should be able to reach the user's wrist. It can be appropriately adjusted according to the height and personal habits of the user.
Step 2: Hold the crutches
The user should hold the crutch at shoulder level. When holding a crutch, because the elbow needs to be bent, it is recommended to add a handle cover to the handle to hold the crutch more comfortably.
Step 3: Walk
When walking with crutches, the crutches should land at the same time as the opposite foot. For example, when the right foot is advanced, the left hand should hold a crutch, and the right hand and right foot should be taken forward at the same time.
Note:
1. Choose the right crutches
Different crutches are suitable for different groups of people. For example, standard crutches are suitable for people over 1.65 meters tall, while portable canes are suitable for shorter people or people who need to use crutches for a short time. Therefore, it is very important to choose a crutch that suits your height and needs.
When using crutches, users need to maintain balance. The crutch is only an auxiliary tool and should not be the only support for the user's actions. Therefore, when walking, you should pay attention to head up and keep your balance. The pace should be light and steady, avoid fast or rapid movement.
Proper use of crutches can reduce the burden on the body, but improper use of crutches may increase the pressure on the body. Pay attention to the correct method of use, such as fixing the crutch in the correct position to be able to support the body, but you should not rely too much on the crutch.
3, avoid the use of damaged or aging crutches
If the crutch has been damaged or aged, the user needs to replace it with a new one. The use of damaged or aging crutches may break or break, causing injury to the user.
In short, crutches are a very useful aid to help people with physical injuries, but they must be used with caution. Only the correct use of crutches and follow the precautions can reduce the burden on the body, avoid injuries, and better complete daily activities.
