Which statement is true about desirable outcomes for use of an assistive gait device?

A. The device selected always should be the most-assistive device, regardless of changes in the patient's condition (e.g., strength, balance).

B. The advantages, purposes, and limitations of all assistive gait devices are similar; therefore selection of one device over another will not affect functional outcomes.

C. In general the goal for selection of a gait device should take into account the least-assistive device that allows for maximum safety, independence, and normal gait pattern.

D. The PTA is not involved in assessment as far as selection of the appropriate gait device.
