    Abstract: Mobility aid devices, such as crutches, provide improved ergonomics, comfort and support for the user. The crutches can include an axilla support that has a shape with a peak that fits in the center of the user's axilla area, an increased width for the pad area in the peaked region, a feature that curves upward and toward the user's back to prevent forward slippage of the axilla support, and a feature that includes upward curves or widened areas to prevent rearward slippage of the axilla support. The crutches can include a grip that has a wider rear portion when viewed from the top, a downward slope from rear to front, a front area that narrows and twists towards the outside from horizontal, an offset from the centerline of the crutches to the outside and a rear that is rotated outward from the support centerline when viewed from the top.

    Abstract: Mobility aid devices, such as crutches, provide improved ergonomics, comfort and support for the user. The crutches can include one or more linkage devices that provide a mechanism to link the crutches together and provide restrictions on the range of motion, improving confidence and safety of the crutch devices. A first linkage device can be designed to attach to an upper portion of the crutch frame or at the axilla support to be placed along a user's back. A second linkage device can be designed to wrap about a waist area of a user and attach to a central portion of the crutch frame or at the grip region. The first and second linkages may be used singularly or in combination.

    Abstract: Mobility aid devices, such as crutches, provide improved ergonomics, comfort and support for the user. The crutches can include a frame configuration where a main frame member includes a lower adjustment pole extending therefrom and a secondary pole is attached to a lower end of the main pole and extends upward therefrom. An axilla support may be supported by the main pole and the secondary pole. Typically, the axilla support may be supported by upper adjustment poles that adjustably telescope from the tops of the main pole and the secondary pole. The frame configuration, or a conventional frame, may be used in a crutch that can be convertible between a crutch, such as a cuff crutch, and a cane.
