But the most important ones: Don't get blase about lifting the tips of the crutches off of the ground; the first moment you get lazy is going to be at the exact moment you will encounter something that will catch the tip. Slow down when going downhill. Soft shirts, otherwise you may get chafing in the upper torso, which is a side effect one wouldn't normally expect from an injured lower limb. And pay attention to the conformation/posture of the rest of your ambulatory system, since you're putting New! and Exciting! strains on bits that aren't designed to take that strain, and secondary injuries often offend.
