Show answer

Correct answer 3

Key pointFor people with weak grip, a Lofstrand crutch supported by the forearm is suitable.

Explanation

A Lofstrand crutch supports body weight at two points, the forearm cuff and the grip, so it is easy to use even for people with reduced grip strength.

  • 1, 2: T-shaped canes and offset canes put body weight on the grip, so a certain level of grip strength is needed.
  • 4: A multi-point cane is very stable, but it is used by gripping, so grip strength is needed.
  • 5: A side cane is for people whose walking is unstable due to hemiplegia, etc., and grip strength is needed.
Explanation in Japanese

ロフストランド・クラッチは、前腕カフと握りの2点で体重を支えるため、握力が低下した人でも使いやすい杖です。

  • 1、2:T字杖やオフセット杖は、握りに体重をかけるため、一定の握力が必要。
  • 4:多点杖は安定性は高いが、握って使うので握力が必要。
  • 5:サイドケインは片麻痺などで歩行が不安定な人向けで、握力が必要。
