Crutches allow you to completely remove weight from the extremity. Crutches require good stability and upper body strength, so they are often less useful to elderly patients. However, crutches can provide both excellent support and freedom for those with ample strength.
A walker is the most supportive walking aid, though it's also the most cumbersome. It is an excellent option for those with poor balance or less upper body strength. Newer types of walkers have many options and features that can make the device more convenient to use. Factors to consider when looking for a walker include foldability, weight capacity, handle height, heaviness of the walker itself, and width.
Using a walking stick or crutch to take the weight o‰ a weak or injured leg
If you have a leg that is weak, painful or injured you may need a walking stick or a crutch to help support your weight. An elbow crutch o‰ers more support than a walking stick, but can be more complicated as you have to thread your arm through while standing up. It is important you use a stick that is the right height and that you use it in the correct way.
Physiotherapists will assess what part of the walking pattern has changed after the injury or illness and advise on exercises to assist in returning the walking pattern to normal as well as advising if required on the most suitable walking aid to ensure that that mobility can continue safely.
