I question the calorie burn for walking on crutches. I'm using many of the same muscles required for climbing a steep incline (scrambling). If I am weightlifting, most of the calorie burn occurs while resting afterwards. Could that be the case with walking on crutches, since you are continuously lifting your own body weight?
