護理師協助病人使用拐杖。下列哪項敘述顯示病人理解正確用法？
A nurse is assisting a client with a cane. Which statement by the client indicates proper understanding?
- AI should look down at my feet while walking我走路時應該低頭看我的腳
- BI should hold the cane on my stronger side✓ 正解我應該在我的強側手持拐杖
- CI should hold the cane on my affected side我應該在我的患側手持拐杖
- DThe cane should be moved after my stronger leg拐杖應該在我的強腿之後移動
使用拐杖（Cane）的正確原則是將其置於健側（Stronger side），這能提供更寬的支撐基底（Base of support），並讓健側手臂協助負重，進而減輕患側下肢的壓力。正確步態應為『拐杖與患側腿同時移動，隨後移動健側腿』。若將拐杖置於患側，則無法達到減重效果，且會影響重心穩定。此外，行走時應注視前方以維持平衡，避免低頭導致重心偏移。
The correct principle for using a cane is to hold it on the stronger side, which provides a wider base of support and allows the strong-side arm to share weight, thereby reducing pressure on the affected lower limb. The correct gait pattern is to advance the cane and the affected leg together, followed by the stronger leg. If the cane is placed on the affected side, it cannot effectively offload weight and will affect balance. In addition, the client should look forward while walking to maintain balance and avoid shifting the center of gravity by looking down.
