What is the difference between walking aids and crutches? Is it better for the elderly to use walking aids or crutches? It is also a walker and crutches that can make people with inconvenient legs and feet, such as people with insensitive legs or even lose their walking ability, take care of themselves. Here, what is the difference between this walker and cane? Discuss with everyone.
First of all, let ’s take a look at walking sticks and walking aids:
1. The strength of the cane, upper limbs and shoulders should be normal before using the cane, such as the incomplete paraplegia patients with hemiplegia on the healthy side and lower limb muscle strength. Patients with good grip and strong upper limb support can choose a single-legged cane. If they have poor balance and coordination, they should use a three-legged or four-legged cane.
2. The walking aid, generally made of aluminum alloy material, is a triangular metal structure, which is very light in itself and can maintain the patient in between, some with casters.
The walker also has the following features:
1. Can be folded, stored and carried conveniently, both indoor and outdoor can be used by the rear wheel;
2. The grip part is outsourced with non-slip raw materials, which is not easy to take off;
3. The bottom of the foot is equipped with a rubber sole to increase the friction with the ground, making it safer to use;
4. Adopt high and light raw materials, which is convenient and durable;
5. The twisting type (interactive type) is more convenient than the old-fashioned fixed type, and it can also be fixed for greater coordination and effort.
