How are crutches typically positioned during the swing-through gait?

In the swing-through gait using crutches, the correct positioning involves purposely moving the crutches forward ahead of the user's feet. This gait is characterized by the individual using the strength of their arms to lift their body and swing through the crutches, which must be well-placed to facilitate this movement. By positioning the crutches forward, it allows the user to advance their body past the crutches, ensuring balance and safety while utilizing the crutches effectively to assist with mobility. Proper positioning is essential for maintaining stability and ensuring the user can confidently swing their legs forward without stumbling.
