ambulate

Of the 13 patients assessed by functional studies, 1 paraplegic patient (patient 9) can ambulate with 2 crutches and knee braces with no physical assistance and 10 other patients can ambulate with walkers with or without braces with physical assistance.

Every patient was able to survive surgery and ambulate with external support.

Nursing should be making sure all residents attend all appropriate activities and that each resident who is able ambulates to that activity.
