Partial Weight-Bearing Three-Point Gait
This is used when your injured foot can bear some weight, but you still need the assistance of crutches. To do this, put both crutches in front at a 45 degree angle, just like the tripod stance. Step with your bad foot up to the crutches and then step with your good foot past the crutches.
