Proper fitting of axillary crutches is essential to prevent further injury and ensure comfort. Here are the steps to fit them correctly: 1. Adjust the height: The crutches should be adjusted so that the top rests about 1-2 inches below the armpits when standing upright. 2. Handgrip position: The handgrips should be positioned so that the elbows are slightly bent (about 15-30 degrees) when holding the grips. 3. Check for proper alignment: The crutches should form a triangle with the body, with the tips about 2 inches in front and 6 inches to the side of each foot.
