Crutches are used to support the weight of the body and provide assistance with walking. They are typically used by individuals who have injuries or conditions that affect their ability to walk, such as a broken leg, sprained ankle, or hip replacement.
Crutches are made of a sturdy material, such as wood or metal, and have a handle for the user to grip, and a support pad for the underarm. Crutches are available in different sizes and styles to meet the needs of different users, and can be adjusted to the appropriate height for the user. Using crutches correctly can help to prevent falls and injuries, and allow the user to maintain their mobility and independence.
