Lightweight crutches are primarily made from materials such as aluminum and carbon fiber, which not only reduce the overall weight but also improve durability. The traditional wooden or heavier metal crutches could weigh up to several pounds, posing challenges for users, especially those who needed to rely on them for an extended period. In contrast, modern lightweight crutches can weigh less than two pounds, making them easier to maneuver and carry, whether at home, at work, or while out and about.
