Now get user-friendly, intelligent crutch for disabled

Whether forarm crutch are used correctly by who uses it? Now there is no problem, a user-friendly forearm crutch with an in-built sensor has beed developed which helps in monitoring whether it is used correctly
What is this forearm crutch?
It is a medical device used by the patients who are injuried usually anywhere below the waist to get etra stability to enable normal movement. Forearm crutches are the type most commonly used in Europe, but in the United States and Canada, are almost exclusively used by people with permanent disabilities.
This new crutch is made by using off-the-shelf technology and sensors similar to those used in Nintendo Wii (it is a home video game console released by Nintendo competiting with Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony'sPlayStation 3) to make it low cost.
Now a day there is a increase in the number of people who are going for the option of physiotheraphy. But reports from physiotherapists indicate that people do not always use crutches in the correct manner and ther are no monitoring devices to check whether the crutch is used in a proper manner. Repeated incorrect use of the crutch could make the patient's injury worse," said Neil White, a professor at the University of Southampton.
Georgina Hallett, a member of Sothampton team that developed the intelligent crutch, said: "These crutches will make it much easier for patients to be taught how to use them properly, and how much weight they are allowed to put through their injured leg."
This new crutch helps the patients who ever uses it to get out of hospital faster and also reduce their risk of further damaging an already injured leg by putting too much or too little weight through it.
The crutch is fitted with three accelerometers that detect movement and force sensors that measure the weight being applied to a patient's leg and the position of his/her hand on the grip and this data is transmitted wirelessly to a remote computer and visual information is displayed on the crutch if the patient uses it incorrectly.
