Frank Mitchell using crutches.
Crutches are a type of mobility support aid that transfers weight from the legs to the upper body. They are long sticks with handles. They also have a piece at the top of each stick that either fits under the armpits, has a cuff that goes around the forearms, or has a platform for the forearm to rest on.
