Dad on Crutches for 10 Days... 

As a disabled person (spina bifida and scoliosis) living in the uk I thank you for doing these tests. I spent 9 months in a coma 10 years ago and have never recovered fully. I am also jealous of those shopping carts. Ours attach to our chairs via a rigid hook and they are a nightmare going around a corner as they either jam the wheels or they disconnect.

I felt so bad for Landon but it was so sweet of him to do it for someones research!! Landon did so good even if he was done with it.

Landon just loves learning, so it doesn't surprise me that he is helping out. I love medical stuff like this! Good thing you put a warning up for those who can't handle it

I am geeking out over this study! I hope we get to know the results. Thanks for taking one for the team, Landon!

I am recovering from a knee surgery and was on crutches for 9 weeks! I have never been so grateful for the ability to walk. It’s been a wild ride! I would be interested to hear more about this study!

I had ACL surgery 9 weeks ago, and watching Landon was like living through the first two weeks all over again (just that I also had a really bad reaction to the pain killers and therefore felt miserable because of having a fever and stomach aches for about a week). The annoying thing about ACL is, while after 2-4 weeks you are back to your normal day to day, it takes another few months to come back to your full normal self being able to do all the sports and movements you are used to.

Wow Landon is super supportive to his friend. Landon is also a nice person.

Servive,finished exams, repacked my bags for the next 8weeks to be an RA for a gifted&talented camp for 7-9th graders for the next 2 summers. One day at a time. Utah,Kansas&much of the Midwest is on my bucket list. You're family is amazing&thank you for bringing Shari close. I wish she could go with you all. I worry&pray for the other kids&young adults. Good luck in selling your home,finding a new home in the Kansas City area&seeing your folks again once they return from Serbia next year! My love&prayers are with you all.

Landon sure has a big heart! ❤

Wow! I hope you can share the results with us once she compiles them! That seemed intense.

This is a fantastic study!! My mom was in the hospital for 3 weeks and it was amazing to see how much mobility she lost. I would love to hear the results.

Oh I’ll be wanting the results Landon! Interesting!!!

No one moved the bicycles all the shoes out of his way.😢😢

I actually have a Muscular Atrophy/Dystrophy disease called CMT (Charcot Marie Tooth). I've had my first surgery (Calcaneal Osteopathy) and I have big screws in my heal and staples in my ankle. Being on crutches is so difficult, never mind when you have trouble balancing in the first place. I wish there was more research about CMT and they find a cure or at least to stop it progressing. xx

Wow props to Landon! I would’ve been the perfect candidate for this study lol… Twice in my life I’ve had knee injuries that were bad enough for crutches, and both times I went at least 90 days without moving my leg. It was very anxiety driven (I have EDS and joints dislocating is a huge trigger for my anxiety and PTSD, all fueling each other hahah) and it was a huge uphill battle to get my leg back, even just to 90° mobility. It’s definitely an unsettling feeling when you can visibly notice the muscle atrophy in your own leg 😅 Thankfully not all of my mannnny injuries needed crutches cause those armpit pains are no joke!! It makes the world a little less scary for me knowing that people like Landon do such important studies with genuine passion ❤️ I really do thank him and all others in the field! The world is lucky to have minds like you

This was really cool to watch! Thanks for sharing it

Will you please also share the results of the study. Thanks this sounds interesting

I broke my leg and shoulder so could not use crutches and was in a wheelchair for 6 weeks. It stretches your mind and make you appreciate little things more

Thanks for sharing. This was interesting! Praying for a quick recovery for Landon❤️‍🩹🙏🏻Love this adorable family

Super interesting!! As someone who is in constant pain(I need 2 lower discs replaced!) I can't workout and something like this would be so beneficial! Thank you for sharing! Lots of Love from NC🤗✌🏼💜

Research!!!! That’s what Landon is doing lol

This is SO FREAKING INTERESTING!!

Feel better landon

Way too late to help ... but ... your crutches are not sized correctly ... they're too long ... there should be 2 fingerbreadths between the top of the crutch and your armpit.

Wow, this is wonderful

i feel bad for landon that he is in crutches. i hope you feel better. i will keep you guys in prayer💗

I think the percussion will help but I don’t think it can replace PT. Of course if you see benefits it would be wonderful for bed ridden patients!! Way to take one for the team Landon!

Just push down on the hand pads, don’t use the armpit pads to lean on as much and you won’t hurt your pits. I used crutches for a couple months to recover from knee surgery. Sending love and get well soon wishes

Nice on you Landon ❤

Mr Deru reminds my of my brother, what a great guy, seems easy going, Mrs Deru he sure is a keeper huh? God Bless

link to the percussion massager please? My friend let me borrow hers while my family was moving and wowza my tense back/shoulders loved it!

I applaud you for doing that study. I never do it!❤😮

Landon is a trooper.

I like how they use click bait as a way to promote medical studies. Totally worth it.

Kudos to Landon

That’s great that he volunteered, but it was hard to watch because she was rough with that needle. I flinch with him.😂 I hope you’re healed and found solid results.

I had to wear a knee cast from foot to ankle for 8 weeks and with crutches and then I had to go to work and prop my leg up and top at my computer because my sick time was up. It was hard to take a shower so we had to wrap a garbage bag around my cast and I was exhausted by the time I got out. Luckily we had a seat that was built into our shower. It was horrible.

Don’t know how you did that Landon . I had to use them in 97 after my knee surgery ( but I only used them coming home . ) they made me feel like I was going to fall

Omg I just got on crutches myself and so annoying 😢I can’t wait to get my foot back. This is not fun at all

That is cool!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the disclaimer, because I did not want to see that

I thought he was really hurt lol

Landon is a brave man for sure!! Ohhhh They was digging down in yur leg!! Yikes! 🥴🥴🥴

I’ve been very fortunate so far and I’ve never needed crutches

Oh 😮

He needs to use his arms, shorten the crutches and raise the arm grips

I hope to God. You never do become disabled. I think Emma should really watch what she says in regards to a car crash!.It definitely wasn't funny to say such a thing. I guess she knew that her dad w as ok. Because she certainly wasn't any help was she lol. 😯😀

If you really want to live in someone else's shoes try being blind for a day, I had a blind friend (from birth) I can't begin to tell you how many times they'd speak to me instead of her, when I took her to the Temple, I would put her recommend in her hand so they'd acknowledge her, she had dreams only with voices no visions.

You’re not useless like that I promise there’s a lot of people born with limitations, and they have to use crutches. They said that it’s gonna take you a few days, but you will get it people with crutches in a little chair they promise I’m not useless I know you didn’t mean anything by it, but just remember limitations does not make you useless. You just have to try to adapt good job doing List study for your friend.

Why all children playing around with Landon’s crutches

If your arm pits hurt than that means your crutches aren’t adjusted correctly. You lower them and use your arms not your pits.

So sorry, but Julie please remove items on the stairs. Love from Australia

Wow, she was not very gentle!

Crutches shouldn't sit all the way in your armpits that means they're too tall!

Gonnas what people will do for a little money Maybe get attention in you tube.

Put your weight on your hands Landon you shouldn’t be putting it on your armpits.

Brave man🩹great research

Wow that is dedication. That biopsy was brutal 😬

Julie, At the beginning of the video I thought you were not being thoughtful videoing Landon trying to get up the steps & him having to say 'things needed moved out of his way.' Also Emma mentioned the damage on the front of the car I THOUGHT you quietly shushed her? It all made perfect sense when you guys explained what Landon was doing to help out a friend. I commend Landon for his research dedication especially the needle muscle biopsy. 😥 TY for sharing and please cushion Landon's crutches. 😊

The protagonist is Landon's job, we did a similiar simulation when I did my master's degree in special education...

To be honest, I would have volunteered to be part of that study if I had known it existed... If you are getting paid, way better!

Mmmm ask the kids to make sure the place for walking is clear ..husband has had difficulty walking for years and a clear space is an absolute must

Im having to have a cast on my ankle cause I sprained it and i have nothing to hold on like crutches or something else

Way to go Landon for being so willing to do something like this since nobody else wanted to. What a trooper! Way to go!

Poor Landan xx

LEO Y Yazmin.❤❤

I had an Achilles debridement & surgery on my heel bone done 10 years. I was in a boot about 8 weeks & was non-weight bearing for much of that time. You know that trip up the steps on Landon’s 1st trip up the steps into the house was a very good lesson. Trips like that can be so dangerous to someone really incapacitated, whether temporarily or permanently. It’s so easy to trip over something like a shoe, or a toy left in the wrong spot. You really have to think ahead when it comes to moving about, coming & going. Way to take one for the team, Landon. I did have considerable atrophy of my calf muscle. Despite PT in the regular post op period, then intense PT about 12 months post op due to continued pain & having no power in that foot, a a fair bit of that atrophy & loss of power was permanent. But, I was able to get all of my pain resolved, so I consider my surgery a success.

Sure hope your muscle biopsy doesn't end up like mine...it was about 12 yrs ago and my thigh has been in pain since...it WRECKED my sleep which in turn contributed to WRECKING my life

I lived with a leg brace for a year having broken my knee through the joint in 9 places..i wasn’t allowed to touch the ground with that leg for a the whole year ,..I had wrist crutches , which are much easier ..

I currently have a broken ankle, an air cast, a knee scooter and crutches so I completely understand! I haven’t been able to do anything for over a month 😭 Everything is sooo slow.

You can wrap the crutches with a towel to prevent discomfort under your arm. I know it is slowing you down because you are use to being up and about. Praying for quick recovery🙂

Landon put some blankets on his crutches for his pits.i think you can buy something too

Landon is very patient with all the junk on the steps in the garage. 😡

Pu t pads on those crutches duh

❤❤❤❤

Lower the critches. I broke my foot and the ortho said to not have the crutches touch your arm pits. You can get secondary sores or wounds from the rubbing.

A very interesting study. Thank you for sharing this with us. I also am curious if Landon has Scoliosis. My daughter has it and so I know a few things to look for. I can see in Landons upper back and shoulder area, some signs that may indicate scoliosis. I have noticed it in many videos and wondered.

I can't get kidik link in your our description too work it says not found
