Rationale
1. Advancing the walker, then the left foot, followed by the right foot would place the involved limb at risk.
2. Protected weight-bearing gait involves
advancing the assistive device, then the involved limb, then the uninvolved limb. This sequence allows the patient to safely decrease weight-bearing on the involved lower extremity.
3. From the starting point, advancing the walker first generates the new base of support needed for gait. Advancing the right foot, then the walker, followed by the left foot would place the involved limb at risk.
4. From the starting point, advancing the walker first generates the new base of support needed
for gait.

Rationale
1. This answer is incorrect
because there should be 20° to 30° of elbow flexion when an assistive device is fitted properly (Johansson, p. 377). Twenty to 30° of elbow flexion allows the upper extremities to provide support during all phases of gait and to absorb shock (O' Sullivan, p. 471).
2. This answer is incorrect because there should be 20° to 30° of elbow flexion when an assistive device is fitted properly (Johansson, p. 377). Twenty to 30° of elbow flexion allows the upper extremities to provide support during
all phases of gait and to absorb shock (O' Sullivan, p. 471). At 15°, the elbow would not be at a mechanical advantage to lengthen as needed in gait.
3. The muscles of the arms should be positioned for biomechanical advantage to gain the most function from the energy expended; generally, this position is about 20° to 30° elbow flexion (Johansson, p. 377). Twenty to 30° of elbow flexion allows the upper extremities to provide support during all phases of gait and to absorb shock (O' Sullivan,
p. 471).
4. This answer is incorrect because there should be 20° to 30° of elbow flexion when an assistive device is fitted properly (Johansson, p. 377). Twenty to 30° of elbow flexion allows the upper extremities to provide support during all phases of gait and to absorb shock (O' Sullivan, p. 471). Therefore, with greater elbow flexion, 45°, mechanical advantage is decreased.
