Thanks Poliolad for this new video. For me also it is very difficult to walk, stand and sit with braces. When I was young I have braces on two legs. But now I prefer walk without braces, only with crutches
yes I tried, the brace doesn't work for the crippled left leg. I prefer crutches as I can walk faster. I am sure people looking for me felt it's so bad but at this time, it's hard to fix and I walk faster on crutches.
when I do my mile walk at the marina everyday, I can see the eyes of the people walking wanting to carry me LOL, they know I have no way to stop in that area but to finish the one mile walk which takes me about 28 minutes. LOL
I am polio disabled in a similar way so can explain what is going on. The fault is not with the polio man or the helper but with the chair. It is a classic Swedish design and is about the worst possible chair to get out of because it is low, the arm rests are very low and it swivels. This is all the exact opposite of the ideal chair which is high, stable and has good arm rests to push up from. To get up using this method you see him first locking his left knee. He has got full calipers also called KAFO leg braces on both legs which lock the legs straight. Then you turn your upper body to face the chair, grab the armrests and drag the other leg across and then push this back by thrusting it up in the air to pull the leg vertical and lock the caliper. The low chair and low armrest mean the height he can get here is not enough and you can see his right leg is jammed under his left and he can't complete this phase let alone the thrusting to straighten the leg and lock it. After that it rapidly goes completely wrong as the chair rotates. He will have been able to get up off the floor with his crutches without help as getting up after falls is something we all have lots of practice of. Even when successful it looks odd to those who are unfamiliar because for the middle phase you are thrusting your behind into the air whilst doubled over holding the chair. Some people often those who are shorter are able to rise forward where you just lock the legs and use the chair to hoist yourself up. we all pick the method we find best depending on the chair.
in my opinion i think the helper should held the disabled as soon as he turned to get up and pull him up as soon as he got steady for more support and being held up from the waist and steadily moving upwards would have been easier
This *is* staged, isn't it?? The braced guy would know how to rise, stand and lock his braces without ending up on the floor, and how to instruct the other guy to help him effectively.
No way that this is staged. I have a brace just built for me 2 years ago and I have a hard time wearing it. This guy already passed away and I am sure at that time, his brace was not as sophisticated as compared today.
+Ian Jones For me I use my crutches since I was 7 years old. I have a brace for a year now, when I tried it, even if there's adjustments, I don't like it. I prefer to use my crutches. It takes me 28 minutes to walk in one mile for my daily mile walk. Using my brace, just in my kitchen took me an hour to walk with braces using canes. It is so ridiculous so I stopped using it, as it is not of use for me. Of course for some, it is very useful for them.
The swivel chair is the issue Nothing firm to assist Remember the braces are just support and don't help movement which comes from the hips only This maybe exaggerated but it does and has happened to me

I am always wearing crutches, never braces. I had braces customized about a year ago, never used it. I prefer crutches.
if you can it is better for you
but one of your leg is very bad. with braces it will be better

in my opinion i think the helper should held the disabled as soon as he turned to get up and pull him up as soon as he got steady for more support and being held up from the waist and steadily moving upwards would have been easier

Are you wearing braces??
+Ian Jones This is not me, this is Stephen Dworskin, famous director. I am not wearing braces, if you noticed in all of my vids, just crutches.
+PolioLad I thought you didn't use braces normally. Admired Dwoskin's films Interesting work Only one I have not been able to find it his Outside In
+Ian Jones I crutches only but I have a brace built last year but not using it as it's so hard for me to use.
+Ian Jones - Outside In is available on UA-cam. Search: "Stephen Dwoskin Outside In"
If its so hard to use maybe it need adjusting Would be interesting to see
