The purpose of this study was to investigate the load on the shoulder and the elbow joints during walking with a crutch. Nine healthy adults participated in this study. 0ne leg of each subject was assumed to be an affected limb. All subjects used four kinds of crutches such as T-cane (T), Quadripod cane (Q), Lofstrand crutch (L) and Axillary crutch (A) with an upper extremity of sound side during walking. They were told to load their body weight on the crutch as much as possible. The movement was measured with 3D motion analysis system (VICON512)and force plates (AMTI).As a result, the rates of the maximum load on the crutch showed 44.9% in T, 59.2% in Q, 66.7% in L and 73.6% in A. The load on the elbow joint was significantly larger than that on the shoulder joint in T and Q (p<0.01),while the load on the shoulder joint was larger than that on the elbow joint in L and A (p>0.1).These results can be employed as an indicators when we recommend a suitable cane or crutch for individual patient who needs walking aid.
