These non-traditional crutches are useful for users with an injury or disability affecting one lower leg only. They function by strapping the affected leg into a support frame that simultaneously holds the lower leg clear of the ground while transferring the load from the ground to the user's knee or thigh. This style of crutch has the advantage of not using the hands or arms while walking. A claimed benefit is that upper thigh atrophy is also reduced because the affected leg remains in use. Unlike other crutch designs these designs are unusable for pelvic, hip or thigh injuries and in some cases for knee injuries also.

Crutches, in general, are medical devices that assist people ambulate from one place to another when they are unable to walk due to an illness or injury. They act as an assistive device by helping support the person's body weight in hopes the patient can be more mobile. Lofstrand crutches, more commonly known as Arm Crutches, consist of bands that encompass the forearms along with having handles for the patient to hold and rest his/her hands; the bands and hand rests act together to help support the patient's body weight.
