Crutch is an assistive aid which
transfers the weight from legs to the upper body. Canes are similar to
crutches, and used as walking aids which redistribute the weight in the body,
improve stability, and helps the user maintain balance. Canes have four
components – handle, column, shaft, and ferrule. Crutches are able to take more
of the body weight than canes. These are used in cases of fracture, arthritis,
obesity, walking impairment, developmental disabilities, and balancing problems
among others.

Drivers
The global canes and crutches
market growth is expected to accelerate during the forecast period, owing to
the increasing geriatric population. Senior citizens are likely to suffer from
musculoskeletal disorders or other orthopedic conditions which in turn
increases the demand for canes and crutches. According to World Health
Organization (WHO), between 2015 and 2050, the world’s geriatric population
(people over the age of 60) is expected to be increased by 12% to 22%.
According to the same source, in 2015, around 900 million people over the age
of 60.

for canes and crutches from regulatory bodies to the key players are expected
to boost the global canes and crutches market growth over the forecast period.

the European Medical Agency for its canes and crutches. The crutch which is
made using anti-microbial material has hinged arm that allows free movement of
hands which was not possible in conventional crutches.

Restraints
Presence of alternative for canes
and crutches is expected to hamper the global canes and crutches market growth.
For instance, knee walkers and wheelchairs can be used in place of canes and
crutches. A knee walker has wheels which facilitates free movement, and
requires no upper body strength. Moreover, it has more stability and is easy to
use. Wheelchairs are assistive aids which have wheels attached to the chair.
Wheelchairs offer more ease of movement and also prevents the risk of pressure
sores. Such alternate products are expected to restrain growth of the global
canes and crutches market.
