delinquent noun [C]. âº a âperson, usually âyoung, who âbehaves in a way that is âillegal or not âacceptable to most âpeople: âjuvenile delinquents.
Probably the major advantage of walking upright was that it freed the hands to use tools and carry (the pray). Another advantage is seeing further than on four legs, without the need to stop walking and raising oneself for a little while to look around ( like some animals do). Comments. Report.
In addition, use of walking sticks engages arm swinging and trunk movement, which is otherwise very limited with the use of a walker. Patients can discard use of walking sticks as soon as they feel secure, although some like the added support of the additional 2 legs.
