CRUTCHES

office is located.
INTENDED USE
Crutches are walking aids and are Class I medical devices.
CONTRAINDICATIONS AND WARNINGS
Using and adjusting the walking stick will depend on
the user. When using the crutch for the rst time, healthcare
professionals are required to adjust the height and provide
training in its use. A medical evaluation is required for persons with psychomotor disorders and those with prostheses
or orthoses in their lower limbs. In some persons, pr
use may lead to disorders of the arm joints. If pain is experienced in the hand, wrist, elbow or shoulder it is advisable to
stop using the aid and seek medical advice.
