There are various styles of crutches for the elderly. At present, there are mainly alloy crutches and wooden crutches. Among them, wooden crutches are divided into screw connection, tenon-mortise connection and integral wooden crutches according to the connection mode.

Three elements of crutches:
Light weight (old people can lift it easily and walk without being tired)
High strength and toughness (safety first)
Good workmanship, fine workmanship and comfortable use. Old people have face when they go out.
At present, the better crutches in China are mainly produced in Linzi Town, Rugao, Jiangsu Province (the hometown of wood carving). There are all kinds of high-grade crutches here, with very fine workmanship and many fine products. One of the most famous is the crutch of Taoyuan Town Woodcarving Craft Shop, and there is a shop with the same name in Taobao Shop. The main signing designer is Wei Guangquan, an arts and crafts artist, with exclusive patents. You can go to Linzi Town if you are interested and convenient. This is the hometown of longevity and wood carving. There are many things to see. If you don't have time, you can go to a shop on a treasure. I have seen the crutches inside, and the workmanship is really beautiful.
