Abstract (en)

[origin: US5860439A] PCT No. PCT/EP96/00403 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 8, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 8, 1997 PCT Filed Jan. 31, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/24322 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 15, 1996A walking aid or crutch has a rod-shaped part (1), a grip (2) and a forearm support (3) or forearm region. The grip is connected at one end to the forearm support (3) and at the other end to the rod-shaped part (1). The walking aid may thus be substantially shaped out of a bent tube. This design of the walking aid places the supporting point of the walking aid further forward on the floor, giving the user a greater feeling of security and lengthening his steps.
