The first four methods allow partial weight-bearing of the affected limb, while the last method generally does not allow weight-bearing of the affected limb, which must be done with a double crutch. The following is an introduction to the method of walking with a double crutch: step to step: adjust the height, body upright, place the crutch on the outside of the front of the little toe about 15-500px, firmly touching the ground. Place the axillary pad of the crutches against the rib cage of the chest wall on both sides of the axilla. Hold the handrail with both hands and support your body with the strength of your arms (this is the correct posture for holding the crutches). Step 1 out of the crutches, step 2 move your weight forward, while swinging your feet forward to the back of the line where the crutches hit the ground. This method is commonly used when starting to walk, good stability, suitable for patients with double lower limb injuries. Such as (lumbar spinal cord injury wearing a long-legged brace patients), the disadvantage is the slow walking speed. Step to step Step over step: holding the abductor posture as above, step 1 forward out of the double abductor, step 2 forward shift the center of gravity, both feet swing forward to the front of the line of the double abductor landing point, then double abductor forward to restore the starting position. In the step to the mastery of this method can be advanced, the advantages: walking speed, but poor stability, swing over the amplitude of the risk of falling. The four-point step holds the same posture as above, the first step out of the left abduction, the second step forward to shift the weight to the affected leg, the third step out of the right abduction, the fourth step forward to shift the weight to the left leg, so called “four-point step”. Because there are always three points to support the weight when taking one side of the abduction or leg, it is more stable and close to the natural gait, but the speed is slower. Suitable for double lower limb injuries, but better muscle strength of both lower limbs, or patients with unilateral lower limb injuries can be partly weight-bearing early. Four-point gait Two-point gait Holding the abduction posture as above, the first step of one side of the abduction and the opposite lower limb (affected side) at the same time, the second step of the other side of the abduction and the opposite lower limb, so called “two-point gait”. This is the “four-point step” after the mastery of the advanced gait, faster. The scope of application is the same as “four-point step”. Double crutch two-point step three-point step is applicable when the affected lower limb is completely unable to bear weight, or when the early pain is too severe for the affected lower limb to bear weight on the ground. The first step out of the double crutch, the second step body leaning forward affected foot to follow (not weight-bearing), the third step of the lower limb on the healthy side, so that the healthy side of the foot to the adjacent double crutch landing point, so called “three-point step”, after mastering the skilled or better muscle strength can be stable control of the body, you can also cross the double crutch landing point to increase the stride length.
