Lesson 9: How
Assistive Devices Can Help
For extra
security and support when walking, assistive
devices—canes, walkers or crutches—can be useful for the
person who has a gait or balance disturbance.
These devices should be prescribed by your healthcare
provider. You will receive help selecting the right type
and size of device, and instructions on how to use it.
It takes a little
time to adjust to using these devices…but this pays off in
reducing your risk of falls. |
