@@AaronTheEagle1 remember to lean a little bit backwards when going down and forward when going up. Cuz falling forward when going down is a nono lol. Start going up and down while holding the two crutches together and the railing before trying to go full crutch mode.
Thank you for your instructions! I've been using the clutches for 3 weeks now for very short trips to the bathroom, and I just realised they needed to be readjusted. I'm also feeling brave enough to give the stairs a try after watching this.
Sorry for the delay I was checking with our physio. Getting off from a chair without arms would be similar to how it is shown on the video. Instead of pushing down on the arm rest, use the seat to push off with the other arm pushing down on the crutch's hand pad.
Excellent and very helpful video...You covered everything I needed to know...I found out today I have a cracked kneecap and will be in a brace w/ crutches and a wheelie chair for 6 weeks...I cant bear any weight on my injured knee at all while it is healing...Thanks so much for your awesome video...I was really scared to try the stairs, but I cant wait to tackle it tomorrow and not have to be so dependent on others to help me get around....
@katiematey456 Well you can, but I really don't recommend doing so; because your foot needs time to rest itself and plus it hurts like hell when you put weight on it, so it's really hard to just force pain on yourself
I like to just play with crutches but my stairs really high so I went down my crutches on the stairs and I fell my head but I didn't get hurt bad. Kids if you have crutches be safe don't do this 👍
Jenna Gautier hahahah i used to love playing with my sisters crutches and i did the exact same thing. i’m here now because i broke my ankle and i don’t want to fall on my head at school
Thank you for sharing I really hate to use crutches but my apartment is to small to use my knee scooter. I'm stuck with my crutches for the next 6 weeks. And I think what makes it difficult for me is going down the stairs since I hate heights. But i liked the video so hopefully it works.
Going up and down stairs with crutches is challenging because it can be hard to balance so it's important to do it slowly and carefully. Another way to do it is to go up and down on your bottom but it's not easy to do if your whole leg is damaged (rather than just your foot) and it's not practical when outside (because you'll end up with dirty clothes!)
This is very accurate. I have a genetic condition called Patella Alta/Patella Femoral Syndrome, which is basically where my knee cap sits up way too high and also moves around in directions it shouldn't. I have known about it for about 10 years now and been on crutches several times, one time I was on them a year and a half. I was on them that long because at the time they, for the life of them, could not figure out what the problem was. 6 days ago, to be exact, I had a lateral release arthroscopy surgery done so now I'm on crutches yet again.
Thanks I am a noob at this, but through intuition and common sense I figured it out. Would be good to show hot to do things like , taking a shower, sitting onna toilet, and carrying a plate of food .

I just had foot surgery that may necessitate crutches for up to 12 weeks. I haven't used crutches in 53 years so this is starting all over for me. Very useful and understandable video. Thanks
Distance of the crutch ANTERIORLY is 6 inches, 2 inches laterally for ideal BOS. If patients will do as you say by placing the crutch 6 inches sidewards, they are gonna fall.
I hve broken knee on right leg.. With my patella tendon nerve is broken, and my left toe thumb is broken.. Means boths leg is injured.. Now, my left toe is gradually recovered.. But still there is pain.. And my knee is still on the proces of recovered.. Wish me luck on learning to walk again.. Its realy pain when boths leg is get damage..
Watching this scares me. I need to use the crutches but I just can't seem to get the hang of it. I keep wanting to bear my weight on the armpit thingies. I'm not strong enough not to. And my right leg hurts supporting my weight. My left ankle can't have any weight on it.
My good leg is weak so I am afraid of falling down the stairs, that instead I sit on my butt and slide down one step at a time using my arms to leverage. Using crutches for too long gives me wrist, hand and shoulder joint pain and puts a strain on my good leg.
I just broke my foot within a cast and I go to school tomorrow and I have almost a 6 minute walk to class but with crutches it will be like a while especially because I’m on the bus
you probably wont see this anymore but i might hazard a try. will it worsen the situation if you keep hitting your bad leg, my foot is in full cast and heel bone is fractured and i worry that if i rest my bad foot on the floor im applying pressure or weight on it ? thank you for being a blessing and sharing this video with the bad leg side of the internet ! :~)
When using crutches, make sure your wrists support your weight not your armpits - the upper arms should only clamp the top of the crutches to keep them stable.Nerve irritation in the armpit can cause numbness or pins and needle feeling over your arms/ fingers. All these signs and symptoms should go away once there is no more irritation of the nerve. If your armpits are still sore after using crutches properly and you are concerned, please speak to your doctor.
We are trying to make useful videos to make life easier for patients, whatever condition they may have. If you have any suggestions for videos please let us know it would be a great help!

Sarah van Laurne me too
same
Sarah van Laure same
Same
Same I fell down stairs trying to do it myself so I came to vid
Tried the stair part and busted my shit.
🤣
Fr I'm scared to do it
Going downstairs is okay but going upstairs I have landed each time on the injured ankle which hurt. I cannot get the upstairs.
Funny thing is that I can do upstairs like it’s nothing. Downstairs is the scary part, so I have yet to try that.

I broke my ankle and am going back to school Tomorrow. *sigh* rush hour will be HELL
Same
At my school they let me out 3-5 minutes early from each class
How long does it take for you to walk after surgery,,without crutches..
How long it will take to bear 100% weight
Oof I sprained mine today and it hurts like helllll the doc even said I was better off breaking My ankle than my 3rd degree sprain
Glad this helped - wishing you a speedy recovery : )
That's a 3-step stairs. Imagine doing that on a hiiiigh stairs. I'd end up breaking my neck by the end of it
omg... I'm so scared I just broke my ankle for the first time and i am so scared to use them....
Maddi&Aisha&Lucy use the inside of your foot and put all the weight on the good one
Henry R thank you
MaddiAndLucy SAME I NEED SUGARY FOR THE FIRST TIME SOOO SCARED

MaddiAndLucy same I did yesterday and got crutches today at 12am
Thank you so much. I broke my knee a few days ago and it's been a struggle
Thank you for your instructions! I've been using the clutches for 3 weeks now for very short trips to the bathroom, and I just realised they needed to be readjusted. I'm also feeling brave enough to give the stairs a try after watching this.
How can anyone dislike this video??!You really helped me,so i can only give praise!THANKYOU VERY MUCH.(dislike??,huh!)

Husky Lives Matter same bro
i just broke my ankle falling down a full flight of stairs. on the bright side i made it into tje school spelling bee... 😕
stampy.cat.girl4102 omg I sprained mine today! From stairs too!!! It suckssss
So did I except idk if it's broken
lots of chairs don't have arm rest. how to stand/sit with crutches on that situation? given that your other lower extremity is non-weight bearing.
Sorry for the delay I was checking with our physio. Getting off from a chair without arms would be similar to how it is shown on the video. Instead of pushing down on the arm rest, use the seat to push off with the other arm pushing down on the crutch's hand pad.
Thanks for this I need to ride a bus for school so now I can get on without having to worry about me falling easily

Hi there! We were taught about putting the crutches on unaffected side to begin sit to stand. Can you explain please?
My daughter just broke her leg on Saturday this is so helpful 😅

So glad there's ramps in my school
Thanks Dean, glad you found it helpful : )
Thank you so much for this. I injured my right leg and now I'm learning how to use crutches.
+Josevich Hi Josevich, wishing you a safe recovery - take it slow with the crutches until you're used to them to prevent accidents.
Does anyone else prefer crutches over wheelchairs? 🤔
Engelli için güzel bir anlatım inşallah
Thanks : )
Thanks Luke - wishing you a speedy recovery : )

Glad I found this tutorial... will be using crutches in a few days and this is very informative. Thanks!
Wtf, why was this in my suggested videos.
you slim .... i can't do that with my 100 kg
O the stairs I pray everyone a safe recovery
👉🏻 Yeah! Buenísimo!
I can't go upstairs with my crutches, I just fall on my face.
What should I do?
***** The problem was there were no stairs and I could only use one leg. Thanks, I am now not on crutches anymore :)
We are trying to make useful videos to make life easier for patients, whatever condition they may have. If you have any suggestions for videos please let us know it would be a great help!
