Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The physical therapist recommends a wheeled walker for Henrietta. Since Henrietta can still walk, a wheelchair is not recommended. However, Henrietta's upper-body weakness makes using a standard walker difficult for her. A wheeled walker allows her to push the walker rather than lift it, making mobility easier.
