護理師教導病人使用拐杖。下列哪項是正確的方法？
A nurse is teaching a client how to use a cane. What is the correct procedure?
- AMove the cane and the weaker leg forward together同時移動拐杖和較弱的一側腿
- BMove the stronger leg forward with the cane與拐杖一起移動較強的一側腿
- CHold the cane on the stronger side✓ 正解在較強的一側手持拐杖
- DHold the cane on the injured side在受傷的一側手持拐杖
拐杖使用的核心原理是利用健側（Stronger side）承重，以減少患側（Weaker side）的壓力。正確的持杖方式是將拐杖握在健側手，因為拐杖與健側肢體同時移動時，能形成一個較大的支撐基底（Base of support），有效分擔體重並維持重心穩定。在步態訓練中，正確順序為：拐杖與患肢先行，最後才是健肢，這符合生物力學的安全原則。
The core principle of cane use is to bear weight on the stronger side in order to reduce stress on the weaker side. The cane should be held in the hand on the stronger side because, when the cane and the stronger limb move together, they create a wider base of support, effectively sharing the body weight and maintaining a stable center of gravity. In gait training, the correct sequence is: cane and affected limb advance first, followed by the unaffected limb, which follows sound biomechanical safety principles.
