1 Crutch Walking Using Your Crutches Safely Adjust the crutches for your height. The top of the crutch should be 1 to 2 inches below your armpit. Be sure that the pads and grips are in place. Clean the tips of the crutches to make sure that they are free of dirt and stones. Remove throw rugs in your home to avoid falls. Make sure the pressure or weight goes on your hands and not on your armpits. Keep your elbows close to your sides. Place your crutch tips 2 to 3 inches or 5 to 8 centimeters (cm) out to the side of your feet and 3 to 6 inches or 8 to 15 cm in front of your toes. Have a slight bend in your elbow when holding onto the crutches. Do not walk too fast. Keep your head up and look ahead. Do not look at your feet when walking. Check your balance often. You must pick up your crutches and injured leg more when you walk on carpet than when you walk on tile or smooth floors. The order from your doctor or therapist for your injured leg is: (Do only what is marked.) Do not let your foot touch the floor when standing or walking. Touch your toe on the ground to help your balance but do not put weight on it. 1
2 Cómo caminar con muletas Cómo usar sus muletas con seguridad Ajuste las muletas para su estatura. La parte superior de la muleta debería estar entre 1 y 2 pulgadas (2.5 y 5 cm) debajo de la axila. Asegúrese de que las almohadillas y las empuñaduras estén en su lugar. Limpie las puntas de las muletas para asegurarse de no tengan tierra ni piedras. Guarde las alfombras de su casa para evitar caídas. Asegúrese de que la presión o el peso se apoye en las manos, no en las axilas. Mantenga los codos cerca de los costados. Coloque las puntas de las muletas alejadas 2 a 3 pulgadas (5 a 8 cm) de los lados de los pies y a 3 a 6 pulgadas (8 a 15 cm) enfrente de los dedos de los pies. Cuando sujete las muletas, mantenga el codo ligeramente doblado. No camine demasiado rápido. Mantenga la cabeza erguida y la mirada al frente. No se mire los pies mientras camina.
