拐杖
one of a pair of sticks that people with movement difficulties put under their arms to help them walk or stand
A crutch is a support device used by people with difficulty walking because of injury or disability. It is typically made of a pole or frame with a padded top that fits under the armpit, allowing the user to lean on it for stability and to support their weight. Crutches are adjustable to fit different heights and are designed to help individuals move around safely while recovering from injuries such as broken bones or surgeries affecting the lower body. Proper fitting and use of crutches are important to prevent further injury and help movement during rehabilitation.
