She makes it look so easy 😭😭😭😭😭 I'm struggling do hard with my crutches

I sprained my ankle last night! To all the people with broken or sprained bones, you have my sincerest sympathy!

This video is a life saver the hospital just gave me my crutches and sent me on my way I’ve been using them wrong

It’s so hard using the crutches. I almost fell 2 times. Lucky me my husband saved me from falling. I don’t know how to balance yet. I am keep watching this video to learn how to walk with crutches. This video is very helpful

I got knee surgery so I've also not been able to put any weight on my left leg. After 12 days of laying in bed and being extremely restless I decided to go for a walk and damn it humbled me. I "walked" for about 1.5km (0.9 miles) and had to stop multiple times cuz I was totally out of breath and exhausted. My chest, shoulders and arms were just fried when I got home 😂

I have never used crutches before,it's tiring. I broke my ankle 3 days ago I'm falling at least once per day I'll be glad when I conquer this

I wish that I have a time machine show I don't break my leg!!!!!

Thank you - a very clear and easy to follow film that will make my first use of crutches far from home (Cusco, Perú) much less daunting as I make my way back home via three flights to England

Stairs feel impossible!!!!

This is helpful. Even though I never broke a leg before, this is still helpful.

Thanks sooo much! Brilliant video!

I just broke my leg at one Am yesterday so this information is very helpful and I'm glad there's channels like this

thank you

Thanks! This is very helpful

Thank you good explanations

The stairs are terrible. I lack the strength to get up from a sitting position with only one good leg. And My balance makes it scary as well. Getting up or down stairs is very complicated.

Some people are lucky that they have a boot on but they can still walk without crutches.

Best wishes yer

Thank you

I broke my left ankle in 3 places in August 2023 whilst on mini break holiday (4" kerb in daylight and sober!!)..spent 2 weeks in hospital due to having an external fixation before having an orif......was non-weight bearing for rest of August and September which was a total nightmare....toilet and bed and stairs all very hard..luckily in house had downstairs toilet and had an office chair in kitchen to wheel around..walking again now 10 weeks later and can also now climb and descend the stairs as i was doing bum shuffles and knee crawls on landing and downstairs hallway...(ouch on the knees)...keep going if your reading this and have broken yours and keep entertained with movies and tv and also have clothes downstairs too!!

I have week arms and can't hold my body weight, end up hoping and that's tiring.

I’m going to need this in December 😢

I'm not very good at walking with crutches. I keep hopping on my good leg which is making it hurt. What am I doing wrong?

Very nice

I just torn ligaments in my right ankle below my right ankle on Friday. I will be in the Ottobock CAM aircast moonboot for 8 to 12 weeks. Not able to put full weight on my foot so this will help

No matter how many videos I watch and how much I practice, I just can’t use crutches for non weigh bearing. I hop and use my scooter but now my knee on my supposedly good leg is swelling and hurting from the distress.

For me and my broken leg the bum scoot is most convenient and safer.

Helpful

what if you can't bend your leg?!

This is helpful but I f****** HATE crutches. Especially thank you for showing how to do the stairs in your bum.

veru helpful! thanks!

One thing to consider…..I am 69 …. Overweight and can’t walk with crutches…….and there is more ….elbow on left is fractured….

Thank you for the video! I just got on crutches last night with my injured leg. They told me about what to do and had papers explaining things but a visual demonstration is really the best for me!

I prefer the bum scoot. If I used my crutches on the stairs I would have another broken leg, or back 😅

But what if you have a really bad ankle and fall? (Totally not me on crutches)

Thanks! This is very helpful. #BumScoot

I wish I new this today

I’m getting flashbacks ......

Good god . I think I would have problem with this just as much as skating and roller blading

Hi where you say dont add extra padding as it can cause discomfort. I totally disagree i have been on crutches for 8 weeks now 6 of which i wasnt allowed to put my foot on the floor the last 2 weeks i can rest my foot on the floor. But the crutches really hurt your hands after a while so what i did was get a yellow car sponge and cut it in half and selotape each piece to each hand of the crutch. Much nicer on the hands.

So when you sit, you keep your foot hovering in the air? I imagine that’d get pretty exhausting 🤨

What a bout For wc& bathroom with crutch or waker do?

I am getting ready for surgery on my feet (one at a time). This video has helped me to see how to practice before surgery and what I need to do and strengthen so I can recover successfully. Now to find a video that will prep me for after recovery and how to walk with fused feet.

I literally do ALL of this

The theory is fine. But with a weak bladder, holding the foot up & back is not working, at all. The crutches fit as well as they can, seeing as nobody bothered fitting them before I was sent home after surgery. And stairs?? Down 2 steps, my husband walked backwards in front of me, all but lifting me down. Back up, I could only do a "butt" walk, I don't have the upper body strength to stand on one leg & hoist myself up - nor is my unbroken leg strong enough to push me up. It doesn't help that this aircast is utterly uncomfortable and confusing. If I pump it so it stays up when crutch-hopping, it presses painfully on the insicions. If I leave it less inflated, it slips down for each hop. My "good" leg, is hard, bloated, looking like an elephant's leg. My broken leg will appear with a 10" scar on either side. I am now petrified of stairs, scared of what more pain the hospital staff is going to put me through, panicky over what more I will have to figure out myself because nobody talks to the slabs of meat they push along their assembly line!

How lucky 😍♥️ ... I have to use my leg anyway 😢 I have exams coming soon .. and I don’t have any of those + Iam overweight I think it too hard to do

THANK YOU SO MUCH CAN YOU MAKE ONE THAT SHOWS YOU HOW TO PUT YOUR BOOT ON

its hard to me to balance mine with the crutches 😭😭

WHY AREN'T CRUTCHES MADE OF ACTUALLY COMFORTABLE STUFF HUH??

My foot is really heavy when i get up and im unable to move any bit because of this reason, what can i do?

For me I had fractured my ankle and I had the crutches for 3 weeks they bothered me so damn much . I got them off later on . My ankle is now completely healed but it hurts to walk bc I am not used to it . So guys also know having a boot on after it heals to try and walk with only stiff ur ankle or foot more than it did while having ur boot on for it to heal causing it to stiffin

Not everyone has an adult or even a kid to hold your leg or crutches as you go up and down stairs so no help in this dilemma

Don't bother using crutches going upstairs or downstairs for fuck's sake. Turn around and shuffle up with your arse. Coming from a 6'2 fairly strong person. Order online delivery shopping and get black bin bags if your shop doesn't provide plastic bags. Take it easy.

My question is how can I properly use crutches if I had surgery on the big toe of my bad leg side? There has to be a way to counter the imbalance...

I removed i femur rod and 3 screws on 25 days ago when i able to walk without any support???

Broke my foot today. Helpful info.

Using my non-dominant leg (my good leg) to when attempt to go up stairs is so difficult. :( any tips?

When can I use crutches? I'm already a month after the accident. minor tibia fracture

What do I do with both my legs in braces ?

Me now

I fractured my ankle

This helped lol.

If only it were possible to demonstrate how to sort things out when you need to go to the toilet. That’s where I have the most difficulty, you have to rely so much on the good leg and crutches and cramped spaces don’t mix.

Where can I get replacement tips for the crutches

How to walk

You can ride the bus with crutches, not everyone has someone to drive them to school

I AM an adult. Who will help me??

I wish I had found this when I had hurt my foot

I fractured my leg in 2017 or 2018 and i didn’t know there was water next to my fridge on the floor and i straight fell on the floor it was a knee cast

Just saying, I'm a total beast on crutches. She's got nothing on me.

Pabst Blue Ribbon.

I’m not joking I really want to have a broke leg bye my brother but how do you get in a car

this is borderline asmr

Why don't use elbow crutches, much easier ,steady , less chances of radial nerve damage

This technology is innefective at its roll often causing pain to the users free foot therfore being useless at long term movement.

I have tried crutches.. broke my lower legg a few days ago.. I'm getting SOOOOO frustrated it's either the crutches r too long/big for me, or I'm just plain stupid.. but I just can't keep my leg bent like that while trying to propel myself forward.. I dont have the strength of the Incredible Hulk in my arms.. what am I doing wrong.?*!?*! :(

не нойте я 9 месяцев на костылях перелом мидиальной ладыжки с права разорвана малая берцевая связка , асептический некроз правой таранной кости , повреждено ахилово сухожилие

Man that woman is struggling in just a few steps when going across the screen with the crutches. You can see her shoulders go up on every step. She is carry way to much weight and is not strong enough. Very sad.
