Broke my leg over a week ago and still can't get the hang of it but you guys helped thank you

@rosalena- Год назад

I was given crutches yesterday with no idea how to use them nor any informative instructions. I greatly appreciate this.

@OrthoEvalPal Год назад

I hear that a lot. Best of luck! Glad this helped

@microyetigus Год назад

The SAME THING happened to me!!! Perfect instructions here, very simple and effective Well done!

@ISeeBlackpinkIClick Год назад

Same. It's like my doctor assumed I already know everything. He even told me to walk on 50% weight after 4 weeks. Lol.

@dougiedoright2596 Год назад

Lol. Me too. I’m 71. Very athletic. Yesterday I started as well. I feel totally uncoordinated unsure sure. It will come to me. though. I hope. Lol

@syddn3y Год назад

Omg same! I was injuring myself more using them than hopping around😂

Wow I was given crutches after my flat foot surgery and I don’t know how to use it this video really helped me thanks

@Biobro Год назад

Thank you so much. I was given crutches today because I couldn’t get a wheel chair and they explained it like rocket science

I broke my leg and had surgery i had to watch this video thanks

@OrthoEvalPal 6 месяцев назад

You are welcome! I hope you feel better soon!

@shyryTsr2k 3 месяца назад

Damn, how painful is that?? I didn't break a bone but I tore several ligaments a few days ago and that alone made me wanna cry lol. I got a brace on my ankle now which is very sturdy and keeps me from falling over completely at least.

@KenEssi- 3 месяца назад

@@shyryTsr2k well it was kinda painful but i was trying to breathe calmly and waited for my dad to arrive at my school and i didnt cry or anything it was painful but i just tried to keep myself calm and everything went well at surgery and stuff. It was the bone right under the kneecap it got ripped off cause the thing that connects the kneecap and the thing i broke right under it was too strong cuz im still growing and im 190cm. It also makes it kinda common for tall people that grow quickly that stuff like that happens. But now its been almost 3 months and ive learned how to walk again. Still dont have much muscle on my right leg tho 😅 ( hope i explained it well i dont rly know how to explain it like a doctor)

@stevejoe141 Год назад

Great video. Although, it wold be helpful explaining when the patient needs to bear weight through their hands in order to move their uninvolved leg.

@carlonsmikle3047 Месяц назад

Good day this is a great video. How long after doing the step to should you do the step through?

@jimshelley8831 4 месяца назад

Thanks ,i live in Bangkok and cracked a bone in my ankle so cast & crutches for 6 weeks. Never fractured any bones before in my 67 years on this planet.

Its challenging for a bariatric patient but does help keep nwb

@mercifulhumming4222 9 месяцев назад

I can do it. But inside my apartment I felt 4vtimes in one day. Really bad. And it's hard to stand up because your keg is so heavy😢😢😢😢 I am desperate. I drink just sips of water so I don't have to move a lot. I sleep only on the couch-recliner. Friends are visiting, but can't stay forever..... all my body hurts now, not only the leg. I hit myself horribly in several parts.

@tungstenwhizard4361 Год назад

How about if you have a straight leg knee brace?

@WestieWestie 8 месяцев назад

Wow! Really suprised to see underarm crutches still being used in the USA. The rest of the world has moved onto forearm crutches based on peer-reviewed literature many years ago.

@gregsoul Месяц назад

Don't show off your lack of intelligence for the world to see, it's embarrassing to yourself. Different types of crutches have different uses. Seems like your brainbox has simply frozen, and "not moved on".

@ekamm._ Год назад

my knee dislocated yesterday, i got crutches with no clue how to use them. although my knee needs to stay straight and isnt supposed to bend

@Wuahia Год назад

I broke my foot today lmfao no idea how to use crutches i keep falling

@Lauraelaine03 3 месяца назад

yeah i just had acl surgery . my knee doesn’t not bend like that all

@kylescovers9833 Год назад

Does the uninjured leg take on the same normal body weight, or less?

@mayowaolowojolu1427 Год назад

I was given crutches yesterday my legs are still shaking… I hope I’ll be able to move my body I did my surgery last 5 days so I have dead weight to deal with

@ernestanderson3726 Год назад

Paul, would be great if you could also explain the proper height adjustment as well as explaining where the users weight should be leveraged either at the arm pits, handles, or both? Thanks...

@ernestanderson3726 Год назад

@@OrthoEvalPal , Thank you!! My wife had meniscus tear off the bone and has to stay off the leg for 6 to 8 weeks. She is terrified to use crutches and will only use the walker. She agreed to let me start helping her so this video will help her get started with adjusting them. Thanks again! I really appreciate it..

@SakaezehBadabo 4 месяца назад

Is/Are there tool(s) you use to assess adaptability of patients to using crutches? When do you objectively say the patient is fit for discharge on non weight bearing BAC?

@edisonkelly2729 2 месяца назад

I use them non wight baring but its hard to get up hills and my right foot feels tired.

@deeusrey2097 9 месяцев назад

I am non weight bearing on my right leg due to major ankle surgery. My left knee is bone on bone and I was supposed to get eval for knee surgery, but I tore a tendon in my right ankle. Even with 2 legs, my balance was not good. Now, with my right non weight bearing all the pressure is on my bad knee. Not only does it hurt like hell but I have zero balance. Any suggestions? I use a knee scooter 90% of the time but I do need crutches at some points.....like getting down my stairs and to my car
