Very informative yet figured this out in 2018 with a broken pelvis. My right leg was always the "bad" leg since then until 7th July 2023. Now my left leg is "bad" so what now. My muscles are messed up in the right leg and I feel it when I stand for long periods.
Why say bad leg goes to hell. You're trying to recover, and that's the last thing you want to hear is your bad leg is going to hell🤷🏻♂️ great motivation 🥶 how about using more suitable words
The physical therapist that was teaching me how to use these crutches wanted me to do left crutch with right foot and right crutch with the left foot, it was damned exhausting trying to keep track of what crutch and foot was next. Finally after I got frustrated with her, she got frustrated with me and told me to walk with the crutches however I was comfortable, I instinctively started doing the both crutches forward followed by one foot at a time like in this video. Unlike many people I no longer really have a good leg or a bad leg, they're both very close to the same. I've since been discharged from the hospital and I'm using a two wheeled walker in the house and a four wheeled Rollator type walker for exercise walks outside. I'm not sure if I want to continue trying to use the forearm crutches, I'll discuss that with my in home therapist once they start coming to see me. I've been told by that therapist who was teaching me the crutches and other folks who just watch me walk that I'm probably ready to walk unassisted if I could only build my confidence enough to not panic when I try. The therapist introduced the forearm crutches as a potential transitional tool to go from walker to unassisted, but like I said I'm not sure I like the forearm crutches or if I would prefer one or two regular canes instead.
all these videos show the patient in short sleeves, easy to put your arms through the crutches loops... RU-vid is a global platform, and we don't all live in California or Florida with warm weathers... Many of us live on cold climates, wearing lots of clothes and very heavy coats... How can we use these crutches if we cannot get our arms through the loops?
My neurologist thinks i might have this then my cwk mri showed abnormalties now i can under go 3 more mri’s brain another cwk and twk 💀 i have alot of real neurological problems already like i had a brain bleed at birth which caused me to have cp on my left side i have a shit load of other conditions so i would happily sign for FND but no my mri showed abnormalities i will know what it is 23rd september i hope FND bc the other thing would probably be MS
Okay so if you’re like me and don’t have a “good and bad leg” and are using crutches for something like EDS… here is what I do since I can’t find any videos that acknowledge this or give advice about it! I’m using a modified 4 point gate. For a long time I thought I was doing it wrong because of just how high I had to lift the crutches. But I believe I’ve just about got it now.
It’s definitely not easy & SLOW is key!! I too am non weight bearing - have been for two weeks w/ quite awhile still to go - and my comfort in the stairs at least, while not great, has gotten a bit better, so I hope it’s the same for you. If by chance you’re using underarm crutches - likely if you’re in the US - I will say that I find forearm (like in the video) are SO much better on steps ($ in MANY other ways), & in particular going down. (So if you do have underarm definitely at least consider making the switch if you’re going to need them for any significant amount of time). If your injury/ surgery if knee/ lower leg scooting is also an option ; if it was an option for my injury I’d definitely be doing it to get down at least some of the time! Hope your recovery is going well!
I can't believe I never found this before, Ive just started using those specific crutches (Ive had them for a month) and thankful that I found this video
My shoulder feels like it’s gunna pop when I do push pull exercises I try warm up then it’s bearable but every time I dread doing heavy weights because I’m scared it will get worse someone in the gym advised me to do these exercises before your workout three times a week and said all he’s niggles had gone and he was late fifties so think I will give them a shout
Functional Neurological symptom disorder aka Conversion Disorder are non-painful, presenting symptom is a loss of function (motor or sensory). This is unlike Somatic Symptom Disorder which will have predominant pain
@@andreasevers903 thanks for asking, it’s a frozen shoulder apparently! Set off by strain when exercising! It was sooo painful and I’m pushing through the pain with exercises they’ve given me to release it. So I’ll take another look at your video and use your exercises here too. Thanks so much for them, really helpful info xx
@@lilasfaves7846 aww you are too sweet? I didn't make the video. but i have a rotator cuff injury and I aspire to be a physiotherapist, thanks for sating my curiosity teehee, you got this :D
These rotator cuff exercises do not work !!! Ive had a rotator cuff injury for a year and find it impossible to do the exercises all these get better quick videos tell you to do as it is just too painful and when i did try to exercise my arm and shoulder all it did was make my shoulder more painful, when you cant lift your arm in the air through untold pain how are you possibly going to do these exercises ????
well that depends upon your injury, they worked well for my frozen shoulder, they don't relieve the pain but their purpose is to strengthen the muscles so that the tendons have less load when you are lifting things.
