An assistive device goes on the contralateral side of the affected side. i.e if you have a ride knee injury, use cane on opposite side....left hip replacement....cane on right side. Then dad is helping him offload the affected right side by weight shifting towards the left during right stance phase of gait. -Doctor of PT
