Crutches are primarily designed to provide support and stability for individuals who have difficulty bearing weight on their legs. There are several types of crutches, including axillary crutches (the traditional underarm crutches), forearm crutches (also known as Canadian crutches), and platform crutches. Each type has unique features suited to different needs, and suppliers often offer guidance on which type may be most beneficial based on individual requirements.

Another aspect worthy of mention is the battery life and energy efficiency of these wheelchairs. With advancements in battery technology, many front wheel drive electric wheelchairs now offer extended ranges on a single charge, allowing users to travel longer distances without the worry of running out of power. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who wish to maintain an active lifestyle, enabling them to engage in daily activities or social outings without constraints.
