Crutch Components
1. Crutch tips - Crutches without rubber tips or with inadequate rubber tips are dangerous.
2. Handgrips -Made of sponge rubber3. Axillary pads -Made of sponge rubber 4. Triceps band -Made of metal or stiff
leather and is attached to the upper part of the crutch
5. Wrist strap -Made of either leather or plastic

Crutch length: measure the distance from the anterior axillary fold to a point 6 inches lateral to the fifth toe with the patient standing with the shoulders relaxed.
Handpiece: measure with the patient's elbow flexed 30°, the wrist in maximal extension, and the fingers forming a fist. This is measured after the total crutch height is determined with the crutch 3 inches lateral to the foot.

Alternating (reciprocal) gait pattern stable and less stressful on the cardiovascular system and the upper limbsmovement may be slow.
Swinging (simultaneous) gait patternsrequire rhythmic use of a pair of axillary or forearm crutches to eliminate load from both feet by forceful shoulder depression.and elbow extension.

The swing-through gait The fastest mode of crutch ambu]ation but requires the most f]oor space. The patient must be able to support the trunk and lower limbs long enough to allow the legs to swing from behind to a position in front of the crutches.

Gait Training and Pre ambulation Exercises
1. Aerobic conditioning exercises2. Coordination and balancing exercises3. ROM of both upper and lower limbs4. Muscle strengthening of both upper
and lower limbs
![Page 39: Crutch walking](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816598550346895dd872ef/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
upper limb strengthening exercises is one of the most important components of the pre ambulatory exercise program.Important muscle groups targeted include the following:
1. Shoulder depressors2. Latissimus dorsi3. Lower trapezius4. Pectoralis minor5. Shoulder flexors6. Elbow and wrist extensors7. Finger flexors8. Trunk (deep back) muscles - To help improve
balance and endurance

CRUTCH-WALKING EXERCISE
Ankle Pumps Slowly, move your feet up and down and then in circles. Try to do five to ten repetitions every 15 minutes.
Straight Leg Raise Bend your unaffected leg so your foot is flat on the bed. Keep your affected leg straight and lift, then lower to the bed. Do not hold your breath.
![Page 42: Crutch walking](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816598550346895dd872ef/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Quad Sets Tighten the muscles on top of your thigh by pushing your kneedown into the bed. Hold for the count of six, then relax. Repeat.
Hamstring Sets Bend your knee slightly. Push your heel into the bed, hold forthe count of six, then relax. Repeat.
![Page 43: Crutch walking](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816598550346895dd872ef/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
