A modified axillary crutch for lower limb amputees
Objectives: The standard axillary crutch is known to cause general discomfort to the user and crutch palsy. Aim of this pilot study is to compare a modified axillary crutch with the standard aluminum crutch. The following modifications were made in the new design (patent – LK/P/15/866). 1. A single pole design 2. Improved axillary and back support 3. Shock absorbing mechanism 4. Adjustable hand...
متن کاملThe design of a compliant composite crutch.
Ambulation by crutches takes up to twice the energy of normal gait and can lead to injuries of the hands and arms. The compliant composite forearm crutch described in this article seeks to address these problems. The new crutch is made of a single composite piece and has an S-curve in the main body to provide shock absorption and return of energy with the goal of reducing impact and repetitive ...

متن کاملBilateral Radial Nerve Compression (crutch palsy): A Case Report
The radial nerve is also known as the “great extensor nerve” due to its innervation of the triceps, wrist and finger extensors. It originates from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus, and its course along the proximal humerus makes it particularly vulnerable to injury by compression at the proximal arm. In the primary care setting, radial neuropathy is the third most common compressive ne...
متن کاملCrutch-induced bilateral brachial artery aneurysms.
A 57-year-old man, who was a chronic axillary crutch user as a result of childhood poliomyelitis, was referred to our hospital because of a sudden onset of right forearm ischemia. The right forearm had no pulse, and three-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT) showed an aneurysm of the right brachial artery associated with arterial occlusion. The thrombosed aneurysm of the brachial artery was r...
