An axillary crutch is a mobility aid designed to help individuals with walking difficulties bear weight through their arms while ambulating. It features a single vertical shaft, a handgrip at wrist height, and a padded underarm support that rests against the axilla to transfer load from the lower limbs.
These devices are commonly adjustable in length and constructed from materials such as wood or metal, including aluminium or titanium. The underarm and hand grips are typically padded with non-slip materials like rubber, gel, or sheepskin to enhance comfort and prevent skin irritation during use.
