Abstract
The Smart Crutch is a pair of underarm crutches equipped with friction and motion sensors that will teach the user how to crutch properly to avoid sliding. With the friction sensing motor that measures the friction and the motion sensor that measures the angle position of crutches, the system will undergo a detailed calculation based on the measurement to conclude if the user has the tendency to fall. The Smart Crutch also has other security features including the extra mechanical support during the slip motion and the emergency alarm system if an accident occurs.
