Implementation and Evaluation of a Gait Training Assistant for the Use of Crutches: Usability Study

Implementation and Evaluation of a Gait Training Assistant for the Use of Crutches: Usability Study

The current digital aids for learning to walk with crutches do not provide the comprehensive support that a physiotherapist can offer [7,8]. Some crutches equipped with sensors can monitor proper use, but there are currently no commercially available systems that provide simultaneous guidance and assessment, which puts a strain on the resources of physiotherapists. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a custom-designed gait training assistant (GTA) in teaching the proper use of crutches.

There are three possible versions of line graphs: “L+R” (left + right), which shows the crutches separately; “L and R” (left and right), where a graphic overlay of the crutches is added to display both of them simultaneously; and “ALL,” which displays the superimposed graph of the two crutches plus the total load graph.
