College students have frequent social interactions with the surrounding people and environment. When college students happen to get injured and have to use crutches, there will be emotional needs for dealing with such sudden changes in their lives. Considering the needs in an empathic perspective, we have the opportunity to develop new crutches that provide emotional care to patients. During this research, empathic design process was applied to collect patients' real feelings about their injuries and their opinions on crutches. After interviews with users of crutches in University of Cincinnati, combined with my personal experience of using crutches on campus, two contradictory feelings emerged. College users wanted to express the message that they could control themselves independently with crutches. Meanwhile, a kind of helpless anger exists in their minds as well. To mediate this contradiction, a new concept of crutch design was expected to not only deliver an optimistic attitude, but also give users confidence to face their injuries and the subsequent issues. Testing the prototypes showed positive feedback from subjects. Adding emotional care on crutch design generates extra value to the users.
