You instruct a non-weight-bearing patient on how to use a standard walker and a three-point gait pattern (step to). Which of the following would be the correct gait pattern to teach?
1. Walker first, then the uninvolved leg, and then the involved leg up to and not past the involved leg
2. Uninvolved leg first, then the walker, and then the involved leg up to and not past the uninvolved leg
3. Walker first, then the involved leg, and then the uninvolved leg up to and not past the involved leg
4. None of the above
The solution will be posted in a few days.
