Introduction to crutches:
A crutch is a simple device to assist walking, usually a wooden or metal stick.
Crutches are an important auxiliary device for medical rehabilitation, including canes, elbow canes, and armpit canes. Canes are mainly used for mild needs, such as the elderly or climbers. They are not items for the disabled. The elbow cane is a product for moderately disabled people with lower limbs. Axillary crutches are a necessity for people with severe lower limb disabilities. Most disabled people with lower limbs have to use armpit crutches for life. Axillary crutches, especially the anti-slip device under the armpit crutches, need to be improved urgently.
The use of crutches is very important in our culture. Anyone who is familiar with Peking Opera has seen a dragon-headed crutch. In the play "Dragon Robe", Lu Guotai was leaning on a dragon-headed crutch.
