Walking up Stairs with Crutches - Broken Leg Tips. Walking with crutches is hard enough. Walking up stairs with crutches is even more tricky! In this video, I try to answer the question - how to walk up stairs with crutches. I should note, I use forearm crutches and highly recommend these. Much better then the traditional underarm crutches. Balance is better with the forearm devices.

"Walking with crutches is difficult enough on flat ground, but when you reach stairs the difficulty is increased greatly. With a little bit of practice, there is a simple way you can go up any flight of stairs." Source:

It is important not to jump up the stairs, which I did the first couple of nights. It is more of a shifting of the weight from your good leg, to the crutches and LIFTING yourself up. Physical therapy (fysiotherapie in Dutch) and walking up the stairs!

Thank you so much. Your video is the only one I've found when trying to figure out how to get up and down the stairs without using my injured foot. I'm scared to try, but I have to go upstairs and shower and sleep soon.

Oh, you're welcome. It's scary and overwhelming at times, but just keep on going and you'll get through this. God bless you and may you have a speedy recovery.

Thanks so much for the video. I've done regular crutches up and down stairs when I was a child, but I just got reconstructive foot surgery today and had to come into the house on my behind because I forgot how to use them and elbow crutches are new to me for stairs. Good luck with that purple foot. Thanks again. Sincerely, Diane Hutcheson

Thanks for the demo. I recently got my heel broke in a car accident. I used to use crutches all the time as a kid with knee surgeries but never in a house with stairs. Excellent video! Thank you!

Found this due to a similar fracture to what you had it looks like. Thanks for sharing. Your video made me glad to be in the states for this. Couldn’t imagine doing those NL stairs when I lived in Amsterdam. Yikes.

Tip: You can carry your second crutch horizontally with your fingers while you use the crutch you need.

You make that look so easy...I get so scared using the 4 flights of stairs in my apt with a broken ankle.

@pijnacker01 10 жыл бұрын

Hi Max Dare Wow, 4 flights of stairs. That must have been scary and tiring. The first weeks someone usually followed me up the stairs, to make sure I did not fall - and to carry the crutches.

Hi Pisura, wow, sorry to hear. Must be pretty dramatic to get hit by a car. I simply slipped while shoveling snow on a frozen canal... okay, was jogging and throwing it over my head when I lost my balance. It took me 4 months + before I could "walk" without crutches. Problem was and still is to a degree, the ankle. I do not have the same range of motion, forward and backward, as before and still working on that. I have another vid on vitamins - vitamin C is the most important said my doc. peace.

I tried this with my llc and fell at the last step and rebroke tibia fibula and the bad thing was it was my last day on crutches so I had to do another ten weeks 8 with the crutches 2 with a boot and crutches

I have a full leg cast, past my knee up to my upper thigh :/... It plays a toll on my psyche. How to I get up stairs with a FULL leg cast?

@pijnacker01 9 жыл бұрын

567Kriss Not sure, but first step is be very careful. Principals may be similar. Then again, likely pretty heavy, so going up on your behind may be the safest bet. (or with someone assisting you, if possible)

i just broke my leg, you're doing it wrong. if you want to walk up the stairs the way you do you will need someone to bring up your second crutch. if you are alone you cannot use this technique

@3693martin 7 жыл бұрын

I use the technique shown in the video. I think it's the best way but I have other health issues so I find it quite tiring, and we have no downstairs toilet. I plan my trips upstairs carefully so I can minimise the times I go up. Also I have 3 crutches. One stays upstairs, one downstairs, and one stays close to the stairs. That way, I use one on the stairs and always have two upstairs or downstairs and I don't need any help. Thanks for your video and I trust you are well now?
