    Oh my goodness, the crutcheze looks so helpful! Thank you! This video is SO helpful and much needed! Trying to figure out mobility aids can be so tricky .

    Awesome, Dr. Gretchen! Hope you had a fabulous birthday!!
    • Those bases sure make the difference!
    • Great reminder on wrist and top of cane
    • Adjusting the height and getting used to - worth the effort vs contributing to dowager's
    • I have a drugstore quad cane that I adorn with white flashing lights at times - Fun!
    • Prioritizing devices is important if insurance covers one per 4-5 years - (I have to choose carefully)
    • Practicing with rollator beats the alternative (tennis elbow for months)
    (Green with envy that you can open a window - it's too warm in Florida)

    Don't forget heel height of shoes (especially women) when measuring walking aid height. You do not usually walk outside with bare feet!

    Thank you Dr Gretchen. Do you measure and use walking sticks/trekking poles as you do a cane? Thanks!

    Does anyone have recommendations for the rollator that can be used as a wheelchair? I'm looking to buy one, but want input before I do. Thanks

      Have you heard of Zeen? This may be an option that could work for you.

      Gosh, I had such a flaky cycle before menopause, I couldn't tell you, personally. Seems that our exercise and food choices make a difference for me though. ☺
