This diagram illustrates the idealized loading on axillary supports when viewed from the front. It captures the forces involved, including the applied force (F) and the ground reaction force (GRF) during swing-through crutch walking. This visualization enhances understanding of the pressure dynamics at the axillary/underarm interface, as explored in Borrelli and Haslach's 2013 study published in the Journal of Rehabilitation Research & Development. The research offers critical insights for improving crutch design and user comfort.
