助行器使用安全原則：A. 移動 6-10 吋是適當距離；B. 患肢與助行器同步前進可分擔重量；C. 助行器保持靠近身體（在框架內）有助於維持平衡與直立姿勢，避免過度前傾；D. 手肘彎曲約 20-30 度為正確高度。E. 助行器應使用於穩固平整地面，不應放在地毯上以免絆倒。
Safe walker use involves moving the device forward 6 to 10 inches to maintain a stable base of support while keeping it close to the body to preserve balance and upright posture. The client should hold the handgrips with elbows flexed at 20 to 30 degrees for proper ergonomic alignment and step forward with the affected leg first to allow weight distribution through the walker.
✦ 台美臨床差異
美國物理治療師 (PT) 通常會進行詳細指導；台灣常由護理師衛教，若病人有復健需求則會轉介 PT。
