Answer to Question 1

C
The Lofstrand crutch has a handgrip and a metal band that fits around the patient's forearm. Both the metal band and the handgrip are adjusted to fit the patient's height. This type of crutch is useful for patients with a permanent disability such as paraplegia. The axillary crutch frequently is used by patients of all ages on a short-term basis. The platform crutch is used by patients who are unable to bear weight on their wrists. It has a horizontal trough on which patients can rest their forearms and wrists and a vertical handle for the patient to grip. The standard crook cane provides the least support and is used by patients who require only minimal assistance to walk.

Answer to Question 2

B
