Metabolic energy expenditure during spring-loaded crutch ambulation.
CONTEXT Individuals using traditional axillary crutches to ambulate expend approximately twice as much energy as individuals who perform able-bodied gait. A relatively novel spring-loaded crutch now being marketed may reduce metabolic energy expenditure during crutch ambulation. This idea, however, had not yet been tested. OBJECTIVE To determine whether the novel spring-loaded crutch reduces ...
متن کاملCrutch induced axillary artery injury.
CASEREPORT A 53-year-old female presented with sudden onset of pallor and decreased sensation of the right hand and forearm, without loss of power. She had rheumatoid arthritis for the last 30 years, and had been using axillary crutches for the last 10 years. She had undergone bilateral knee and left hip replacements. There were no other significant cardiovascular risk factors, nor any previous...
متن کاملAneurysm of Brachial Artery Following Axillary Crutch
Dear Editor, True aneurysm of brachial artery, just distal to axillary artery, is relatively rare. Moreover, this type of aneurysm following usage of axillary crutch has not reported in the literature. Furthermore, this entity presenting as Reynaud’s disease has not been described; though microemboli following subclavio-axillary artery aneurysm (arterial thoracic outlet syndrome) is well-define...
متن کاملPendular model of paraplegic swing-through crutch ambulation.
Kinematics of swing-through crutch ambulation for an individual with complete T11-T12 spinal cord injury was examined and quantitative aspects of the body-swing phase used to formulate and evaluate a 3-link pendular model. Model simulation parallels measured kinematics when shoulder motion is forced to follow the measured motion while hips and crutch tips are free pivots. Shoulder control contr...
متن کاملVertical Displacement of the Center of Mass during Spring-loaded Crutch Ambulation
Approximately 600,000 Americans use crutches each year [1]. A relatively novel spring-loaded crutch design is now being marketed (Figure 1A). The manufacturer (Millennial Medical Inc, Logan, UT, USA) of this crutch design has speculated that because a spring located in the crutch post compresses during crutch-ground contact, crutch length decreases, and less vertical displacement of the whole-b...
