I wasn’t able to get a cane from my doctors, as getting one was too expensive, and I had to get mine second hand, so no one taught me how to use it.This video was very helpful, as there were a few things I was doing wrong, so thank you for making it
stop by a Goodwill store they have really great stuff small prices . Most of the time they have a bunch of canes .My PHY Therapist only recommended using the cane with a handle leaning over simple nothing fancy or with two or more legs on it . Worked the best for me using the one leg helped my balance to develop more a faster .Knee replacement was very painful deal but in 4 weeks i was doing good .
You are correct that gait is spelled 'gait' and I did not spell gait as 'gate' anywhere in this video. I have no idea where you saw 'gate'. The only thing I can imagine is in the subtitles, which are created by youtube, not me.
Beth, what an excellent video! Great, straight-forward presentation style; talking speed is just right - not fast; explanations of the pros and cons of each cane type is very useful; easy to follow and understand with very helpful front on and side views of walking styles, especially when turning a corner. I have both the offset cane with the small mini-quad foot and moulded ergonomic handle, and the standard straight cane with a smaller moulded handle - neither are moulded with finger placement curves. I generally use the straight cane inside our small apartment and the offset when I am outside. I had been using the offset for several months before I discovered the height tip of the handle aligning with the wrist crease. Thanks for this very constructive video. As someone who has had multiple strokes, I’ll be sure to look at some of your others. Regards, the cadasilvlogbloke.
This is such a helpful and well-organized video. Any time I would question something in my mind, the explanation was right on the heels of my question. Thanks for a clear, comprehensive instructive video.
❤BLESS YOU ! I just got my first Cain today. After I feel in front of lunch line. A Angle gave me a BEAUTIFUL Cain. ASASP I watched ur video. Bless you. Going for no Anxiety!
I have been told a few times that I should be using a cane. But I’ve tried and tried and could never master using one. But you have made it so clear how. Thank yo 0:06 u.
The assistive device with the greatest stability is the front wheel walker, which I cover in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3NF2VoLfVU8.html
I’ve been using my cane every day. And it’s causing me a lot of tendinitis in my wrist. I was hoping you would address hand position. When I use the cane held like you are doing, I get very bad tendinitis in my wrist. Is there an alternate way to hold the cane? Thank you very much!!!
