A pair of crutches could aid him to move with his own both legs.The crutches play an important part of rehabilitation. But the current crutches have some problems such as a load on arms. The purpose of this study is to propose the crutches that have both functions of absorbing shock and supporting the user's weight with elastic materials.At first, we confirmed the problem extracted through the investigation into the literatures.Moreover, we proposed some forms of the crutches.On the basis of these shapes, finite element models were determined, then the deformatin behavior of the models were analyzed.Finally, we chose the most suitable shape as the crutches and made a functional model of GFRP.
