? What factors should be considered when fitting crutches for a patient

When fitting crutches, it's essential to consider the patient's height, weight, and level of mobility. Additionally, assessing any existing injuries or disabilities, as well as their strength and dexterity, helps determine the appropriate type of crutch and adjustment settings for optimal support and comfort.

?How can improper crutch fitting impact a patient's mobility and rehabilitation

Improperly fitted crutches can lead to discomfort, instability, and even further injury. A crutch that is too tall or short may cause strain on the arms, shoulders, or wrists, while incorrect placement of hand grips can result in nerve compression or skin irritation. Poorly fitted crutches can impede mobility, hinder rehabilitation progress, and increase the risk of falls or accidents. Therefore, proper crutch fitting is crucial for ensuring safe and effective mobility aid utilization.
