Feedback:
A three-point swing-through gait is used when no weight bearing is allowed on one foot. A two-point gait is used when a child needs support for weakened muscles or balance but may bear weight on both lower extremities. Walking gait and single-crutch support gait are not identified crutch walking approaches.
