Abstract:
Mobility aid devices, such as crutches, provide improved ergonomics, comfort and support for the user. The crutches can include an axilla support that has a shape with a peak that fits in the center of the user's axilla area, an increased width for the pad area in the peaked region, a feature that curves upward and toward the user's back to prevent forward slippage of the axilla support, and a feature that includes upward curves or widened areas to prevent rearward slippage of the axilla support. The crutches can include a grip that has a wider rear portion when viewed from the top, a downward slope from rear to front, a front area that narrows and twists towards the outside from horizontal, an offset from the centerline of the crutches to the outside and a rear that is rotated outward from the support centerline when viewed from the top.

Claim (Index 16):
A mobility aid device, comprising:\n front and rear support poles; an axilla support comprising:\n a front and a rear axilla support pole receptacle for supporting the axilla support on the front and rear support poles; \n a concave peak disposed at a location between the rear support pole receptacle and a centerline located equidistant from the front and rear support pole receptacles; and \n a grip comprising:\n a front and a rear support pole position, at least one of the front and the rear support pole positions supporting the grip; \n a rear portion of the grip having a width greater than a width of a front portion thereof; \n a downward slope of a top portion of the grip from the rear portion to the front portion; and \n a front area having a decreased width and a twist toward an outside portion of the grip, wherein \n the axilla support further comprises a rear fin at a rear end of the axilla support, the rear fin curving inward toward a user's back when the mobility is used by a user, the rear fin further curving upward, thereby preventing forward slippage of the axilla support during use thereof; and the rear fin includes at least one slot configured to receive a strap therein for interconnecting a pair of the mobility aid devices.
