Question

Hemi-walker + cane

modified (device on unaffected side)

A) A walking pattern involving reciprocal movement of both legs and the hemi-walker, with weight-bearing on the unaffected side.

B) A gait pattern where both legs move simultaneously, and the hemi-walker is advanced along with the affected leg, allowing for full weight-bearing.

C) A walking technique with reciprocal movement of the hemi-walker and both legs, with no weight bearing on the unaffected side.

D) A modified gait pattern where the hemi-walker is stationary, and the unaffected side moves forward with weight-bearing.

Answer 1
