What a weird question...my answer would be sit to stand (even with healthy quads, you are at a mechanical disadvantage...and an AKA has no use for his quads).

I would say walking without support...none at all? Sit to stand could be easily accomplished by the "good" leg and use of arm rests...weight transfers...try it...
Kneeling...again I could kneel on my "good leg" and "stump".
Ascending stairs, much like NWB with a crutch except you use the stair rail for support...easy to do one legged.
However ask me to walk, and I'd be hopping...depends if that is acceptable gait pattern [IMG]http://www.rehabedge.com/forums/smile.gif[/IMG]

I suppose I see logic in any answer...this is a terrible question and I hope not indicative of your other questions. This sounds like "what am I thinking"...or rather should be a written answer allowing you to "defend your position". Otherwise this is useless.

I answered C walking without support. My logic was that it would be the most difficult task overall: kneeling would be a matte exercise, then you would work on sit-stand and ascending stairs would be difficult but that would come after learning to walk. what could be more difficult then learning to walk all over again?

Is "walking without support" the same as "walking without an assistive device" ? Or is it the same as "walking without assist"?
