A, C, and E
Your patient will be using crutches for mobility. After educating the
patient on how to adjust the crutches to fit correctly, you assess how
well the patient understood the instructions. What findings
demonstrate that the crutches were adjusted correctly by the patient?
Select all that apply:*
A. The hand grips of the crutches are even with the mid-forearm.
B. When the patient grips the hand grips of the crutches the elbow
bends at about 30 degrees.
C. The patient has a 2-3 finger width distance between the axillae and
crutch rest pad.
pg. 2
,D. The patient places weight on the axillae rather than the hands while
ambulating.
The answers are B and C. Properly fitted crutches should be a 2-3
finger width (about 1-1.5 inches) distance between the axillae (armpit
area) and the crutch rest pads during ambulation. This prevents
damaging the nerves that are located in the axillae during ambulation.
In addition, when the patient grips the hand grips of the crutches the
elbow should slightly bend at about 30 degrees. Option A is wrong
because the hand grips of the crutches should be even with the hip
line (not the mid-forearm), and option D is wrong because the patient
should place weight on the HANDS while ambulating NOT the
axillae area (this can cause nerve damage).
Your patient is using a cane for the first time. Before using the cane,
you assess that the cane properly fits the patient. Which findings
below demonstrate the cane properly fits the patient? Select all that
apply:*
A. The arm that is holding the cane is flexed at about a 40 degree
angle.
B. The top of the cane is at the level of the greater trochanter.
C. When the patient dangles their arms, the top of the cane is even
with the crease of the wrist closest to the hand.
D. There is a 1.5 inch gap between the top of the cane and the axillae.
The answers are B and C. Option B and C are correct because these
are the two methods used to determine a proper fit for a cane. Option
A is wrong because the arm holding the cane should be flexed at
about 15-30 degree angle (NOT 40 degree angle). Option D is wrong
because proper measurement of a cane has nothing to do with the
axillae region (this is applicable only for crutches).
pg. 3
, A patient will be using a walker for the first time. You adjust the
walker to fit the patient. Which finding below demonstrates that the
walker properly fits the patient?*
A. There is a 2-3 finger width distance between the hand grips of the
walker and the wrists.
B. The elbows bend at about a 15-30 degree angle when the patient
holds onto the hand grips of the walker.
C. The patient's back is mid-line with the crossbar of the walker.
D. The crossbar of the walker is even with the greater trochanter.
The answer is B. When a patient holds the hand grips of the walker,
the elbows should slightly bend at a 15-30 degree angle.
Your patient is prescribed to use crutches for ambulation. The patient
can bear partial weight and needs to be taught how to use the two-
point gait while using crutches. Which description below best
describes this type of gait with crutches?*
A. The patient moves both crutches forward and then moves both legs
forward to the same point as the crutches.
B. The patient moves the right crutch (injured side), then moves the
left foot (non-injured side), then moves the left crutch (non-injured
side), and then moves the right foot (injured side).
C. The patient moves both the right crutch (injured side) and left foot
(non-injured side) forward together, and then moves the left crutch
(non-injured side) and right foot (injured side) forward together.
D. The patient moves both crutches and injured leg forward together,
and then moves the non-injured leg forward.
The answer is C. The two-point gait is where the patient moves both
the right crutch (injured side) and left foot (non-injured side) forward
TOGETHER, and then moves the left crutch (non-injured side) and
right foot (injured side) forward TOGETHER.

damaging the nerves that are located in the axillae during ambulation.
In addition, when the patient grips the hand grips of the crutches the
elbow should slightly bend at about 30 degrees. Option A is wrong

should place weight on the HANDS while ambulating NOT the
