Andrea does NOT use a cane
If you have to ask, then you don't need them. Crutches are only needed when it is impossible for one leg to bear any weight at all due to injury. If the leg can bear some weight, but not the full extent of the person's weight, then a cane is usually used, though most people use it improperly. Many use it on the side of the affected leg, when it's supposed to be used on the opposite side of the leg that is injured, e.g., if the left leg is injured or can't bear weight, then the cane is used in the right hand. As the person walks, when the leg comes down the bulk of the weight is shifted by the user to the cane instead.
