    I wasn’t able to get a cane from my doctors, as getting one was too expensive, and I had to get mine second hand, so no one taught me how to use it.This video was very helpful, as there were a few things I was doing wrong, so thank you for making it

      stop by a Goodwill store they have really great stuff small prices . Most of the time they have a bunch of canes .My PHY Therapist only recommended using the cane with a handle leaning over simple nothing fancy or with two or more legs on it . Worked the best for me using the one leg helped my balance to develop more a faster .Knee replacement was very painful deal but in 4 weeks i was doing good .

    Beth, what an excellent video! Great, straight-forward presentation style; talking speed is just right - not fast; explanations of the pros and cons of each cane type is very useful; easy to follow and understand with very helpful front on and side views of walking styles, especially when turning a corner.
    I have both the offset cane with the small mini-quad foot and moulded ergonomic handle, and the standard straight cane with a smaller moulded handle - neither are moulded with finger placement curves.
    I generally use the straight cane inside our small apartment and the offset when I am outside. I had been using the offset for several months before I discovered the height tip of the handle aligning with the wrist crease.
    Thanks for this very constructive video. As someone who has had multiple strokes, I’ll be sure to look at some of your others. Regards, the cadasilvlogbloke.

    This is such a helpful and well-organized video. Any time I would question something in my mind, the explanation was right on the heels of my question. Thanks for a clear, comprehensive instructive video.

    Did i miss it. Where to purchase quad tip?

    Which is better to use from not falling and I need it stabilizing

    • @MovementFunction
      @MovementFunction  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The assistive device with the greatest stability is the front wheel walker, which I cover in this video: th-cam.com/video/3NF2VoLfVU8/w-d-xo.html

    What do you do, when both legs are effected due to a spinal injury?

    • @julieseier4201
      @julieseier4201 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You just have to take care of it and on the cane in walking go slow in learning it

  • @julieseier4201
    @julieseier4201 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Can you do it on ice without falling

    • @MovementFunction
      @MovementFunction  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The cane will help with stability but will not prevent a fall on ice.

    90% of people are holding the cane backwards. Just like in this video.
