The main types of crutches are axillary (or underarm) crutches, which are commonly used for short-term injuries and provide support by resting under the armpits; forearm (or elbow) crutches, which offer more mobility and are often used for long-term or permanent conditions, involving a cuff that wraps around the forearm; and platform crutches, which provide support through a horizontal platform for the forearm and are useful for those who cannot bear weight on their hands or wrists. Each type is designed to accommodate different needs and levels of mobility.
