Okay so if you’re like me and don’t have a “good and bad leg” and are using crutches for something like EDS… here is what I’m doing since I can’t find any videos that acknowledge this or give advice about it! I’m using a modified 4 point gate. For a long time I thought I was doing it wrong because of just how high I had to lift the crutches. But I believe I’ve just about got it now.
A.S. thank you for your comment. Yes, it sounds like you’ve got it. For generalized weakness/stability issues and depending on the degree, a four point gait is a good choice. Don’t worry about the height you are lifting your crutches if it is working for you safely. It is most likely due to what you need to do in order to balance yourself as you advance the crutch. If you haven’t already, you could also seek guidance from a local physical therapist for assessment, just to make sure you are using your crutches the most efficient way for you specifically. We will make note to add the different point gait patterns to our video list. Take care and be safe! ✌🏻❤️😊 AECorner.com
these smart crutches seem like exactly what i need when my mobility is having a bad day, unfortunately they are out of stock in australia until next year
Jake, we would love to due a review on the Ergonaum 7g, but we currently don’t have a connection to get a pair to review. That being said, using these crutches on the stairs would be similar to the way demonstrated in the video of the smart crutch on the stairs. The sequencing and technique would be the same. Hope this is helpful and if you have an inside track on getting Ergobaum crutches, let us know😊 Take care!! ✌🏻❤️ AECorner.com
@@antoinettecastle4739 Smart Crutches are similar to forearm crutches. They allow the user to bear weight through their forearms instead of under their arms and through the wrists.
