Sit & Stand Walking Crutches

Aug-23-14 The Sit & Stand concept could replace conventional crutches with a more comfortable and convenient design that also leaves the hands free.

Developed as an entry for the Dyson Award, the Sit & Stand concept features a simple design that spreads the weight of the injured leg over the backside of the thigh instead of relying on the upper body to carry the burden. The user's lower leg is attached to the crutch while the thigh of the same leg rests on an adjustable, hinged platform, which allows for a more natural walking motion than traditional crutches can provide. And, true to its name, the Sit & Stand can also function as a personal seat that enables the user to take a break when needed.
