Correct crutches’ handling is the way to avoid undesired side effects in lower limbs recovery or, in chronic users, upper limbs joints diseases. Active exoskeletons for spinal cord injured patients are commonly crutch assisted. In such cases, in which upper limbs must be preserved, specific training in crutch use is mandatory. A walking test setup was prepared to monitor healthy volunteers during crunch use as a first step. Measurements were performed by using both a motion capture system and instrumented crutches measuring load distribution. In this paper, we present preliminary tests results based on different subjects - having a variety of anthropometrical characteristics -
