Armpit crutches are one of the more common medical devices, which help to assist walking, but after a long period of use, it will inevitably wear and tear, so how long can armpit crutches last?
Armpit crutches are mainly used for people with leg diseases, generally double crutches, but there are also single crutches. Under normal circumstances, it can be used for many years, mainly for the replacement of foot pads and hand rests and armpit supports, and it depends on how the user uses them, because these accessories are consumables and will wear out, so the length of use is also different from person to person, but once the wear and tear is more serious, it is best to replace or repair.
Generally speaking, in order to improve the stability and comfort of patients when using armpit crutches, it is best to choose a grip that is more comfortable and wear-resistant, and the foot pad should be non-slip, so as to increase stability and be safer to use.
When using crutches, first of all, the patient should occupy a good posture, the feet and crutches are isosceles triangle, step into the affected limb first, the toes can not exceed the crutches line, after standing steady, support the crutches with both hands at the same time, the healthy limb steps forward, after standing firmly, lift the affected limb, and at the same time lift the crutches to move forward at an equal distance, the foot and the crutches land at the same time, but the toes still fall into the line of the crutches, so gradually move forward. The method of crutches is very important for the healing of fractures, so the nursing staff demonstrates the method of crutches on the spot, so as to avoid arbitrariness and blindness when using axillary crutches.
Finally, I remind everyone that when you usually move, although it may be more convenient to move with the help of crutches, don't be careless, and walk carefully to avoid injuring the affected part again.
