Fill in the blanks for the following

Fill in the blanks for the following assistive devices that are used for ambulation. Walkers are used for: Arthritis of knees/hips; moderately severe balance/gait disorders; and generalized weakness of hips/legs. In order for the client to use a walker, he or she needs to have partial strength in both hands and wrists and be able to partial weight bear on both legs. The ideal height of a walker should be about waist high. The hand bar should be below the client’s waist and the client’s elbows are slightly flexed at a 20-30 degrees bend. Walkers can support about 50% of body weight. A standard walker needs to be picked up to be used as it has no wheels. Often, walkers need tips on the feet to prevent slipping on floor surfaces. Some have 2 or 4 wheels that are in contact with the ground, making the walker easier to maneuver. Some walkers have attachments such as a bench for sitting on when tired, and a basket for carrying items. The appropriate method of using a walker is for the client to move the walker – the right foot – then the left foot. As the client moves the walker the body weight is borne by both legs. As the right foot moves up to the walker, the body weight is borne by the left leg and both arms. As the left foot moves up to walker, the body weight is borne by right leg and both arms. If a person has hemiparesis, the walker is moved with the weaker leg together while the weight is borne by the stronger leg. Then the stronger leg is moved while weight is borne by affected leg and both arms. Please pick from the selection below: HINT: Each word grouping is used only once. 20-30 degrees 4 wheels 50% bench body weight both arms partial strength prevent slipping right leg stronger leg weakness of hips/legs weight bear
