3 Weight
Partial weight bearing on the afected extremity
Correct4
and kyphosis
Strong upper arm strength and non–weight bearing on the affected extremity
A walker with four rubber tips on the legs requires more upper body strength than a
rolling walker. A client who is non–weight bearing on the afected extremity is able
to use
a standard walker. A rolling walker is more appropriate for a client with weak
upper arm strength and impaired stamina who is less able to lift up and move a

upper extremities and move the walker forward. A rolling walker is more
