    Not bad. It's very simple, so it's easy to recreate. But I'm not sure if such an upgraded snow shovel would still be comfortable to use, since the handle is no longer as stiff as the original wooden one. But it's worth a try. I use pretty much the same shovel, but instead of bending over a lot, I walk with it more. Just pushing the snow with her and my body weight from side to side. And if it is some kind of first pass or a dead end, then only there I raise the snow. So now it's more about walking with a straight back pushing the snow instead of bending over and picking it up. It may take a little longer to clear the snow, but it is MUCH easier and safer.

My knee seems to lock up and give out every once and a while the doctor said it was just a bone bruise but my knee keeps locking up and giving out it has happened 3 times. I am convinced it is a meniscus tear but the MRI showed nothing I tried your exercises to see if I tore a meniscus and all of them test positive for a tear. Any ideas why it didn’t show up on the MRI or what the heck is happening, Thanks I would appreciate some feedback

    There are also better shovels with bent handles which help a lot for shoveling. They make it much easier to move snow and I have used them for over a decade in Manitoba where we do get lots of snow once and a while.

    • @profdleeucc
      @profdleeucc 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I also use the True Temper Snow Boss which has a curved handle design but one can also attach and utilize the stretch out looping strap idea to further enhance and customize ones own particular muscle lifting adjustable ergonomic muscle lifting efficiency; this will allow it to work with more potential people who might actually try using this ergonomic tip effectively and successfully also as well.

    This would be great for UK shovellers- shorter handles on the spades/shovels than US! Don't know why!

    • @profdleeucc
      @profdleeucc 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes some of those snow shovels have not only the shorter handle problem which forces one to stoop down and then lift with ones back and spine in exactly the wrong manner; one can really torque ones back if one is handling a massive wet snow load shovelful also as well; its better in that particular circumstance to add and hose clamp on an extension one inch thick width wooden rounded dowel to ones short snow shovel shaft and then employ using the hose clamp and nylon stretch out strap idea also as well; that way one will be able to effectively keep ones back and spine completely straight and fully relaxed because one has effectively lengthened and extended one snow shovel shaft to a more fuller longer length snow shovel shaft with a regular D-handle on the end;
      one can even use alternatively instead of the regular D-handle on the end even use also an alternatively appropriately placed hose clamp further above the first lower hose clamp that would allow one to be able to make a very ergonomically adjustable,comfortable and effective nylon snow sling adjustable stretch out strap also as well; that would actually assist one in more effectively slinging and sliding ones snow load off of ones snow shovel by simply being able to have that second nylon stretch out strap with the pre- stitched holes to be able to put ones hand and wrist through them without stressing and/or straining ones muscles at all. that would allow on the most potential prolonged muscle snow lifting comfort thus delaying the onset of the delayed onset of muscle soreness(DOMS)!!!

      Physical Therapy Stretch Out Straps; they have plenty of them to pick from for potential purchase on amazon that are quite nice and inexpensive; about fifteen dollars for a decent one that has at least ten stitched nylon loops spaced at regular spaced intervals; hard to go wrong for the value in invested dollars to be able to actually be able to transform ones rather ordinary snow shovel into a very handy highly customizable ergonomic one that will allow one to turn ones rather arduous and tedius snow removal task into one that could be considered more along the lines of a highly effective physical conditioning workout; by effectively simply changing the mechanical lever arm physics of altering ones human custom adjustable strapping snow shovel tool.

      The simple beauty of using the equally simple common ordinary stretch out straps with the built in stitched looping holes is it will work on even the ergonomic designed shoves you are talking about; it will enable one to not only lift larger snow loads with less effort and higher efficiency but it will also enable one to potentially throw any snow loads much further away with much less effort also as well; thereby not only enhancing ones ergonomic efficiency effectiveness of even ones particular ergonomic designed shovel but allowing one to remove much more snow in a much shorter amount of time and also with even more reduced muscle strain due being able to not torsion twist ones lifting and snow throwing muscles nearly as much;

      The fundamental key here is not to load up with very much snow in ones snow shovel but only take a partial snow load; that way one does not have to overly apply stress and strain on ones potential wrist and forearm muscles; using the straps one inherently will use more of ones leg muscles to do the actual lifting and also use much less the wrist and forearm muscles over time; also one can adjust ones hand hold position up or down by putting ones hand and/or wrist through the built-in stitching holes thereby lessening any potential muscle strain that may be applied to ones wrist and/or forearm muscles also as well; a very nice simple and very adjustable custom ergonomic enhancing system that is very easy to learn how to utilize efficiently in ones normal daily snow removal routine task that one may be required to do after a snowstorm.

      It's just as a result of applying simple mechanical lever arm physics and some very simple application of using a rather ordinary physical therapy stretch out straps that happen to have the stitched loop holes placed at regular distance intervals to allow one to pick ones most appropriate, comfortable and effective hand hold position to be able to reduce any potential muscle strain from shoveling, lifting and/or throwing even heavy snow loads!!!
