Mobility Aids (crutches, canes and walkers) are tools made to help you maintain your active life, after an injury, for example, or physical problems arising from mobility issues.
They are a physical extension of your body, which makes it even more crucial to adjust and use them right. In fact, an ill-fitted aid can impair your mobility and cause additional pain, by causing incorrect weight distribution that will force you to make movements that are not natural.
