Place this in parentheses after you spell it out in the first sentence. See APA guidelines.

Very good formatting (putting acronyms/abbreviations in parentheses after first spelling out)!

Walkers are like portable parallel bars

Grammar. To use forearm crutches, the client must have strong trunk stability compared to axillary crutches.

A cane is the least stable device. A cane has the narrowest base of support.

Forearm crutches are used similarly to axillary crutches and have a hand grip. The cuff keeps the crutch attached to the forearm, so a person can use one hand without the crutch falling away. The forearm crutches provide less stability than axillary crutches because their contact with the body is more distal. The forearms don't move the crutches--the hands still do the steering.

Warren, please use Grammarly to help avoid grammar mistakes.

There is a technique for using walkers on stairs!

Great. Another pitfall with walkers is to make sure that the patient is walking within the frame, and not pushing it forward while leaning. A common mistake you will see! Very nice work!

Excellent!
