Striding. I always wondered if I was using my cane properly. Thank you for the video.
Thanks 🙏 for sharing this episode walking with Cane👍👏
Thanks for showing us the proper height. Mine was too high! QUESTION - Is a cane helpful for back injuries or only leg injuries? I have vertebral fractures and wonder if a cane is actually good to use.
I love your videos. I recently had knee replacement surgery and honestly, I found ur advices very helpful and I do ur exercises everyday. God bless you 🙏
Very useful, I’ll try to adjust my cane. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Thank you for the guidelines!!

Thank you!
My partner and I were at a hospital recently having a coffee in the coffee shop before our appt. A lady walked in with a cane that was totally not fitted correctly. She looked so awkward. I’d like to think anyone needing a cane and prescribed one by a medical person would be fitted correctly.

Striding Thank you. Learned something from your video. I’m still using walker or quad cane when walking. It’s been almost 2years post stroke. Praying & hoping to walk again without any assistive device. 😔
Striding love your info Sharon Trinidad

5!! Two big reasons. She’s using it correctly, putting her weight into it, and it’s correctly in sync with the weak side. But the biggest clue is it fits her. Canes have to be the proper height.
Striding😊 very good information
Striding - thank you
Striding Good info to know
Tnx
Striding, thank you
I do the same. I use the cane on the side of my painful leg. I do have a bad gait.too.
Striding 😊
Striding. Thankyou.
I have t-rex arms. I also have cervical and lumbar spine issues. I absolutely do not want to lean forward or bend. I also have drop foot on left side. I don’t use my cane properly, per most videos as far as not having it straight down on my right side. My legs are very weak. Walking is very difficult for me, but if I go to a chair, I think I will never get out of it. It’s a major struggle, but at least I can still move around. I don’t expect to get much better, but I hope to get some physical therapy to increase my strength at some point. I’m 67, I’ll never be a kid again. And the spine issues are a combination of congenital and injuries. 🤷♀️

Same to you, unable to walk by my own . I used rolator all the time even inside the house. I have 2 surgeries and a cervical. My first surgery was fine 9 years no cane and rolator. My balance was fine, still have pain in my lower back I can tolerated it. Now came back, 2nd surgery was bad, unable to hold my balance and walking,. anymore. It’s severe. I’m thinking for another surgery with a different neorosurgeon. Try to use cane if I could handle it. Take care.

Hang in there and don’t give up!!! I have a really bad right knee and my left leg isn’t much better, so I really maybe need two canes… But I don’t see how that would work out for me!! I live in a small house/apartment and I have a walker, but there’s not room enough to use the walker in here… I have to look at his video again and check my height on my cane… I need a cane with the four prongs at the bottom, I think!! Would be so much more stable!! I am absolutely wobbling all over the place, though I haven’t fallen in a very long time, because I’m hyper vigilant, and I say prayers, plus I have a Lifeline That I wear around my neck, so if I fall, Emergency crew will come and help me… So appreciate this fellow/Brother doing this video!! I will say prayers for you also!! Have you found Jesus Christ and the gospel?! He is coming soon!! Love, Sister Gay Michaelis (and brother Michaelis in the spirit world recently) and family…(our daughter-in-law just passed away on Easter Sunday with stage four melanoma at the age of 41!! Our son and all of us really miss her, besides, my husband/grandpa!)…❤🤗🌎🙏👍😊😇🤟🥰🌼✨🏡
Please teach how to walk with help of elbow crutch. Make one video about this. Thank u. Very helpful videos

Hi, 1st time viewing video. Striding. Just realized I had my Hurray Cane too talk, went down 2 slots & fills better walking. Was getting slight elbow stiffness, should end now using cane properly.
Striving from Fl. Two knee repacements
My issue is disequilibrium. I have a tendency to drift to the left. Is that the side I should hold the cane on to push me back to centre?
I’ve walked with a cane as you describe for many years. I have a bad left knee. Now, however, I’ve just had right shoulder surgery. I can’t find a comfortable or helpful way to walk with my cane in my left hand to help my left knee while my right shoulder heals. What do you recommend? Thanks!
😎 Striding 💜

Striding. Receive good news!!
Doctor, thanks for your videos. They really help me in my post stroke. But my issue is that, my ankle try twisting when I begin to walk, .asking my feet not flat on the ground and unstable. Kindly recommend some of your exercises to assist me. Thank you

Much grateful
Thank you so very much!!! Well, both my legs are bad!! So I’m kind of confused about this video… I’m going to have to rewatch this several times, and figure this out… Yes, I don’t have the four prongs on the bottom like that one cane… I think that’s the kind of cane. I should get perhaps!! I live in a small apartment/house, and don’t have the room to use a walker… But I am very shaky on the cane… I say lots of prayers and am constantly watching, etc., so I don’t fall!! Plus I have a Lifeline around my neck, so if I do fall, it will contact emergency medical services… But I have not had a fall in a very long time!! Thank you again for this good video… Have you found the gospel of Jesus Christ yet?! He is coming again!!!! ❤🤗😇🙏👍🥰🌎😊

I use a cane on the side that is healing. Maybe it is an age thing. Using a cane "approptiately" makes me more unbalanced and stepping funny. I am 69
