Just head foot surgery No weight bearing for a time this is a great informative video thank you. Cause believe me I had no clue and no one around me did either.
Really helpful. I've got ACL surgery soon and I've been told I'll probably need crutches for two weeks, but nothing about how to use them. Don't think post-op I'll be really clear headed and I've got 19 steps to deal with after getting home, so this came in handy and lessened my anxiety.
I'm so thankful I happened across you guys! I've been in horrible pain with my hip and I've been walking all wrong with cane and crutches! All the advice I've received from these videos on hip stretches and bursitis relief are invaluable! ThAnk you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you so much for your videos. I suffered from pinched nerve last year and your advice helped immensely. Now I'm recovering from a compound fracture from an ice fall and this crutch vid is extremely informative. Keep up the great work!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH. I fractured my metatarsal bone#5, and have crutches for non weight injury. I was using the crutches wrong until I saw this video, what a difference. My underarms were getting sore.
Sprained my ankle on both sides... Grade 3 with a boot and crutches. The only thing is I can NOOOOOT use these things. Having them out a bit more is much better. I also couldn't figure out how to get up on my own. Thanks for the tips!
Hello physical therapist. Can i request a video about unlocking a knee. I have been into a motorcycle accident. And my knees are injured. And i lost half of the size of my knee cap. So meaning my knew cap get small. Due to my knee cap has been broken. Please help i can only fold my knee for almoat 30 degrees angle. I hope yoy will respond on my request. Many thanks
Dear Bob & Bread I got a question. In Europe we common use different crutches. I mean it is supporting while rehabilitation time and while walking. On the other hand I think the crutches which we using causing more neck tensions? How do u think about? Greets from Ger
The orthopedic doctor I saw for my broken ankle didn't tell me anything. Just gave me a walking air cast at first then I messaged her that night saying I'm in too much pain and sense told me to come pick up some crutches. I've sused them before years ago but like 12 years or so. Like I remember how to use them lol or even use them correctly. She also told me I could bear weight on my broken ankle that is broken in 2 spots. Mind you I was urgently worked in because I couldn't walk and when I got there no one offered me help or a wheelchair and they made me walk all over. I'm in extreme pain even a week later and she just tells me to take Tylenol. And I already am. I'm not even trying to get pain meds I just want to be a comfortable or as comfortable as possible.
Not on the topic of using crutches but I have a problem. I once was doing a jump serve at volleyball practice, twisted and landed wrong and ever since, my knee has been giving me unbearable pain and hurts to walk and even bend. The doctors told me it is hamstring tendinitis but I have a gut feeling it is more than that. I go back for an MRI but what do you think?
When someone breaks a leg, it perplexes me why a doc would suggest walking with a crutch on one leg, knowing there is a risk of falling and injuring the good leg thereby being totally crippled or the risk of injuring/wearing down the joints of the upper extremities which then becones chronic. It is as if they want the patient to suffer or worsen. It does not make sense to injure the good leg while the fractured leg is trying to heal. 🤔
as someone who’s super frustrated by a sudden foot injury while i’m on vacation, your personalities made me smile thanks guys

Thank you Bob and Brad for your videos. You are a great team. I tuned in to you to be sure I am using my crutches properly. 🙂

I was on crutches for 6 months. It is crucial to be taught how to use them. This is a great video.
Thank you! Recovering from my second ankle surgery and switching from knee scooter to crutches now that I’m gradually weight bearing.
Happens to be my third day on crutches from ankle surgery . This will definitely help. Thanks guys.
Thank you all so much! I’ve never used crutches before and I was stumped. Very helpful!
Very timely video. I started to use crutches a week ago. I got mine from walmart. Very helpful info.
This changed my life, RUclips might be better than American healthcare.

I have Crutches,Knee Roller and an IWALK 3.0.
How do I walk putting some weight but my knee tends to lock and everytime it does I fall. How can I use the crutch so I don't fall?
great video as always m,k
