Single tube crutch and method of nesting and packaging the same

A method, comprising:

• providing a first crutch and a second crutch, each crutch comprising:
• a single tube support comprising an upper leg and a lower leg that is fully insertable into the upper leg in a collapsed position such that only a slip-resistant tip is exposed;
• an underarm support coupled to the upper leg;
• a grip assembly configured to translate along the upper leg between a usage position and a stowed position;
• a plurality of grip assembly apertures disposed along the upper leg, each of which the grip assembly may align when in the usage position;
• and
• a plurality of leg insertion apertures, a subset of which a push button of the lower leg may align to extend distally from the upper leg;
• the plurality of leg insertion apertures offset from the plurality of grip assembly apertures by an angle of about ninety degrees;
• placing the first crutch and the second crutch in the collapsed position;
• placing the grip assembly of the first crutch and the second crutch in the stowed position;
• and
• rotating the second crutch 180-degrees out of phase with the first crutch to form a nested configuration of the first crutch and the second crutch.
