Medical appliances issued to patients attending the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital, Cape Town, were not appropriately used in a significant proportion of cases. Only one-third of those receiving various types of medical footwear, the most commonly ordered appliances, used these properly. On the other hand, wheelchairs and buggies were mostly used in the proper manner. Aspects of the inappropriate use of appliances are highlighted.
发放给开普敦红十字战争纪念儿童医院患者的医疗器具，在很大一部分情况下未得到妥善使用。在接受各类医疗鞋具（最常订购的器具）的患者中，只有三分之一的人正确使用了这些鞋具。另一方面，轮椅和婴儿车大多得到了正确使用。文中强调了器具使用不当的一些方面。
