The Camp-Coventry method is considered the safest option for unsteady and unsure geriatric patients. It is a weight-bearing projection that does not require any movement from the patient, reducing the risk of injury or falls. The other options (Holmblad, Hughston, and Rosenberg methods) all require some level of patient movement and may not be suitable for an unsteady patient.
