Analysis of Force Distribution in Axillary Support During Crutch Walking

DESCRIPTION

This study investigates the force distribution on axillary supports during swing-through crutch walking. It highlights areas of high and low pressure, with high-force areas marked in red and low-force areas in blue. The research focuses on the interface pressure between the axillary/underarm support and the user, showcasing the impact of hard support under the cushion and how the cushion curves downward. These insights are critical for improving crutch design to enhance comfort and reduce injury risk during use.
