|---|---|
| Parallel bars | provide maximum stability and security for a patient during the beginning stages of ambulation or standing. |
| Parallel Bars Proper fit | allows for 20–25 degrees of elbow flexion, and approximately four to six inches in front of the body. |
| A patient must progress out of the parallel bars as | quickly as possible to increase overall mobility and decrease dependence using the parallel bars. |
| walker | can be used with all levels of weight bearing. |
| walker has a significant | base of support and offers good stability. |
| walker fit should allow for | 20–25 degrees of elbow flexion to ensure proper fit. |
| The standard walker has many variations including the | rolling, hemi, reciprocal, folding, or adjustable walker with brakes, upper extremity attachments and/or a seat platform. |
| The walker | is used with a three-point gait pattern. |
| Axillary crutches | can be used with all levels of weight bearing, however, require higher coordination for proper use. |
| Axillary crutches Proper fit includes positioning with the. | crutches six inches in front and two inches lateral to the patient |
| The crutch height should be adjusted | no greater than three finger widths from the axilla. |
| Axillary crutches, The handgrip height should be adjusted to the | ulnar styloid process and allow for 20–25 degrees of elbow flexion while grasping the handgrip. |
| Axillary crutches A platform attachment | can be utilized with this device. |
| The axillary crutches can be used with | two-point, three-point, four-point, swing-to, and swing-through gait patterns. |
| Lofstrand crutches can be used with | all levels of weight bearing, however, require the highest level of coordination for proper use. |
| Lofstrand crutches Proper fit includes | 20–25 degrees of elbow flexion while holding the handgrip with the crutches positioned six inches in front and two inches lateral to the patient. |
| Lofstrand crutches The arm cuff should be positioned | one to one and one half inches below the olecranon process so it does not interfere with elbow flexion. |
| Lofstrand crutches A platform attachment | can be utilized with this device if necessary. |
| The Lofstrand crutches can be used with | two-point, three-point, four-point, swing-to, and swing-through gait patterns. |
| cane provides minimal | stability and support for patients during ambulation activities. |
| The straight cane provides the | least support and is used primarily for assisting with balance. |
| A straight cane should not be utilized for | patients that are partial weight bearing. |
| The small base and large base quad canes provide a | larger base of support and can better assist with limiting weight bearing on an involved lower extremity and improving balance on unlevel surfaces, curbs, and stairs. |
| cane Proper fit includes | standing the cane at the patientʼs side and adjusting the handle to the level of the wrist crease at the ulnar styloid process. |
| cane The patient should have | 20–25 degrees of elbow flexion while grasping the handgrip. |
| The straight cane can be used with the | two-point, four-point, modified two-point, and modified four-point gait patterns. |
