    Just discovered this series of videos. They are terrific. I’m an above knee right leg amputee just learning to use my first c leg. I have a tremendous Prosthetics team supporting me but their time is limited and these videos allow me to do a lot of “self-help” at home. Balance is a particular issue for me and these exercises will surely help. Thank you.

    on the cross over drill, are we suppose to twist at the waist every time we step behind or in front? or are we suppose to keep the hips square to the front, which is alot harder and doesnt feel like pelvic rotation?

  • @MissionGait

    @MissionGait

    3 жыл бұрын

    We like this drill because you have to twist at the pelvis to get the best control. It is one of very few exercises in walking rehabilitation that focuses on pelvic rotation, which is an essential part of the walking cycle. So yes, twist at the waist.

    Hello, Hope you are doing good!! May I know what the purpose of walking like this? Balance control is fine but when? I am an above knee amputee with short stump as I had met with an accident. I am unable to do dynamic walking. I am able to walk but it is not a straight walk.i am taking my whole body to my left and right side while taking each step. Could you please suggest me on this? Thanks in advance!!

    The goal of these exercises is to promote participation in activity, whether this is walking, hiking, playing sports, etc. If you are able to confidently perform these exercises with smooth control and without hand support (and do not regularly use an assistive device), you can stop them at that time. However, these are good exercises to regularly re-visit to ensure you maintain your balance control.
