Axillary crutches are one of the more common medical devices that help to assist walking, but after long use, it will inevitably wear out. So, how long can the axillary crutches be used?

　　 Axillary crutches are mainly used for people with leg problems. They are usually double crutches, but there are also single crutches. Under normal circumstances, it can be used for many years, mainly for the replacement of foot pads and hand rests and arm rests. It also depends on how the user uses them. Because these accessories are consumables and wear out, the length of use is also due to It varies from person to person, but in the event of serious wear and tear, it is best to replace or repair it.

Generally speaking, in order to improve the stability and comfort of the patient when using underarm crutches, it is best to choose a grip that is more comfortable and wear-resistant, and it is best to have non-slip foot pads, so as to increase stability and use It is also safer.

When using crutches, the patient should first take up the posture. Both feet and crutches present an isosceles triangle. Step on the affected limb first. The toes must not exceed the line of the crutches. After standing steady, hold the crutches with both hands while maintaining the healthy limbs. Step forward, lift the affected limb after standing firmly, and at the same time lift the crutches to move forward at the same distance, the foot and the crutches land at the same time, but the toes still fall within the line of the two crutches, so gradually move forward. The method of holding crutches is very important to the healing of fractures. Therefore, nursing staff demonstrate the method of holding crutches on the spot, so as to avoid randomness and blindness when using underarm crutches.

　Finally, I would like to remind everyone that, although it may be more convenient to move with the help of crutches, don't be careless. You should walk carefully to prevent you from hurting the affected part again.
