Solution to Appropriate assistive device

The correct solution is 2.
RATIONALE: Axillary crutches and modified three-point gait  would be the most appropriate. Lofstrand crutches are more commonly used when a patient has difficulty weight-bearing through the upper extremities. A three-point gait pattern is not necessary here as the patient is 50 percent partial weight-bearing.
