Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A
The proper sequence for the three-point crutch gait is: begin in tripod position, advance both crutches and the affected leg, and then move the stronger leg forward, stepping on the floor. This is the proper sequence for the four-point gait, the two-point gait, and the swing-to gait.
