Correctly fitting crutches is vital for their effectiveness. Crutches that are too tall or too short can lead to improper posture, discomfort, and even additional injuries. It is recommended that users consult with a healthcare professional to ensure proper measurements and adjustments are made. Additionally, users should be educated on the different techniques of crutch walking, including the weight-bearing status prescribed by their healthcare provider. These techniques vary from partial weight-bearing, where some weight is allowed on the injured leg, to non-weight-bearing, which requires keeping the affected leg completely off the ground.

Public restrooms can be breeding grounds for germs and bacteria, and the thought of sitting on a cold, unsanitary toilet seat can be off-putting for many. A travel potty seat provides a barrier between the user and the toilet, which significantly reduces the risk of coming into contact with germs. Many models are also designed with antibacterial materials, further enhancing protection against harmful pathogens.
