This resource, specifically geared towards identifying and evaluating assistive devices, provides detailed information and classification for "tools of locomotion". Assistive devices are a staple in locomotion aids, especially for the geriatric population. In the past, assistive devices have commonly been under-utilized or misused by professionals and supportive staff. The text covers the correct measurement, usage and handling of each of the assistive devices with an illustration of typical walking patterns. Also included is a decision tree to help decide which device is indicated for a particular patient.
