Thanks for the Good tips! Before my long cane I had several falls on stairs. I learned then to use the hand rail, if one is there, and use my descending heal to find the edge of the steps by doing a sort of backward kick tapping the lip with my heal to locate it. Then tapping down. I also walked with the aid of a stability cane because of a bad knee. Using a long cane does make walking or climbing stairs a lot safer. 👍
Well done on this video! In case it helps when talking about steps, the vertical part of the stair is a "riser" (because is rises up), the horizontal part is the "tread", and the projecting edge where they meet is the "nose" or "nosing".

Oh! This was so helpful! I'm still waiting to get my O&M training, so picking up a few techniques here and there is such a big help!
Awesome! Glad you find them helpful.
Thank you so much
super Thanks for making this video.😊
Great. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🙏
I go downstairs sideways and go upstairs straight in my home
I always forget the last stair-thwump and panic every time :L
