Crutch On You

Crutch On You is a human-centered mobility device designed to improve recovery from lower-limb injuries. Traditional crutches transfer body weight through the armpits, causing pain, instability, poor posture, and reduced confidence in movement. Our solution relocates load-bearing to the waist, the body’s natural support structure, using a supportive belt-anchored system that stabilizes gait while freeing the hands when stationary.

Through user interviews and testing, we found patients struggle not only with mobility but with independence during rehabilitation. Crutch On You addresses both physical and psychological barriers by improving balance, reducing strain, and encouraging safer weight-bearing behavior.

By transforming crutches from a temporary aid into an ergonomic recovery tool, we aim to shorten rehabilitation time, reduce secondary injuries, and restore confidence in everyday movement for athletes, students, and patients alike.
