Platform crutches are used to provide support for individuals who cannot bear weight on their wrists or hands, often due to conditions like arthritis or fractures. Instead of the traditional underarm or forearm support, platform crutches have a padded horizontal platform where the user can rest their forearm, distributing weight more evenly. This design helps reduce strain on the upper body while allowing for mobility assistance.
