Study Summary
The proposed study evaluates the effects of a hands free crutch (iWalkFree, Inc.) on walking balance and stability compared to standard crutches. It is expected that the hands free crutch will provide better stability during walking on a level surface and better reported balance confidence compared to standard crutches. In this study, walking stability will be assessed using motion capture data from an infrared camera system with 12 mounted cameras surrounding a level walkway. Balance will be assessed through a self-reported activity-specific balance confidence (ABC) questionnaire. An improved understanding of the effects of the hands free crutch on gait may benefit the future prescription of ambulatory assistive devices. The proposed study may provide insight that can be used by physical therapists and other providers to select the ambulatory assistive device that best meets their patients' needs.
