I actually chose D but that's only because I reviewed Kyle's AD cheat sheet last week 😅😊
I was stuck between C, D. Originally chose C cos I was thinking due to the anterior dislocation, the Lofstrand could potentially put them into too much shoulder extension. but your explanation helped! thank you!!
For me, this question was difficult because I've had dislocations in my shoulder and I had my arm wrapped in a sling and swath, so the thought of using Lofstrand crutches didn't seem like a good choice. Should I not think of myself in situations and just use what info is given in the question?
See this is a mistake I used to make all of the time David. You have to be very very careful using clinical experiences or personal ones, they can lead you astray.
@@ThePTHustle Thank you. I do understand more now. You make it very easy to break down the questions and find the answers.
Hi!. This is Fernando from Argentina and I am a PT here. I really enjoy your videos. There is a question that comes to me about this problem. How do you use the axillary cructches?. Here is why I asking for that: here we learn to use it avoiding the contact of the axillary part of the crutch with the lower part of the shoulder. Instead of that, we instruct the patient to bear weight trough the wrist with the crutches placed un diagonals, in such way that the resultant force of the top of the crutches is applied towards the trunk. Doing this, the eventual problem with the nerve could be solved. I am agree with the option D, but I'd like to know what do you think about this. Thank you!
Hey Fernando! That’s a great question. Are you a part of Kyle’s free PT Hustle Facebook Group? Every Friday he has an "Ask me anything" FB live question/answer session at 6:30pm EST! That would be a great platform for this question! He also provides a lot of information and free resources in the group!
If you’re interested, here’s the link to join: facebook.com/groups/thepthustle/
PS. Just be sure to agree to the rules of the group so I can accept your request!
