Abstract:
A system for padding a crutch to prevent chafing. An armpit padding device covers the conventional armpit engaging portion of a crutch with a combined three layers of nylon fabric, foam pad, and fleece fabric. A handle padding device covers the conventional grab handle portion of a crutch with a combined three layers of nylon fabric, foam pad, and fleece fabric. Chafing is prevented by a combined effect of fleece fabric elasticity and the elasticity of a foam pad that is held in place by being sandwiched between nylon and fleece.
