Which device can have wheels or a platform?

• A. Walker
• B. Parallel Bars
• C. Axillary crutches
• D. Forearm crutches

Answer: (A)

Mobility aids come in fixed and movable forms. A walker is designed to be adaptable with wheels (a rolling walker) to glide rather than lift, and it can also use a platform attachment that provides a flat surface for support when gripping is difficult. Parallel bars stay in one place and are mainly for gait training, without wheels or a platform. Crutches, whether axillary or forearm, are handheld supports and don’t come with wheels or platform surfaces in their standard forms.
