Abstract:
A single-tube crutch ( 100 ) includes an upper leg ( 101 ) and a lower leg ( 301 ). The lower leg ( 301 ) can be fully insertable into a first end of the upper leg such that only a slip-resistant tip ( 102 ) is exposed. The single-tube crutch can include an underarm support ( 104 ) coupled to a second end of the upper leg opposite the first end. A grip assembly ( 105 ) translates along the upper leg between a usage position and a stowed position.

Claim (Index 19):
A method, comprising:\n providing a first crutch and a second crutch, each crutch comprising:\n a single tube support comprising an upper leg and a lower leg that is fully insertable into the upper leg in a collapsed position such that only a slip-resistant tip is exposed; \n an underarm support coupled to the upper leg; \n a grip assembly configured to translate along the upper leg between a usage position and a stowed position; \n a plurality of grip assembly apertures disposed along the upper leg, each of which the grip assembly may align when in the usage position; and \n a plurality of leg insertion apertures, a subset of which a push button of the lower leg may align to extend distally from the upper leg; \n the plurality of leg insertion apertures offset from the plurality of grip assembly apertures by an angle of about ninety degrees \n placing the first crutch and the second crutch in the collapsed position; placing the grip assembly of the first crutch and the second crutch in the stowed position; and rotating the second crutch 180-degrees out of phase with the first crutch to form a nested configuration of the first crutch and the second crutch.
