Striding: I'm using cane improperly evey time had a legs or foot endured, and my friend told me the proper use of cane. It really confirmed after watching this viseo. And so I found this video help me now. New learning health tips. Thanks and God bless for sharing this video to help others.
Striding. Thank you so much for this video. I've been walking with a cane incorrectly for 6 months and wondering why I've been in increasing pain. You would think my doctor would have showed me how to use one. This video you made is great. Thank you so much
My parents were not excited to find out I ordered a cane for myself cause I'm "too young for that". But I don't care, my pain, my life, my decision. Thank you so much for this info!! New subscriber!
@@Ghjfd5wfCfbgvg you should if you think it could help you! i'm 22 and have severe IBD which causes me to often have lots of pain, become dizzy/feel faint and have issues with mobility and stability. i was thinking about ordering one for myself as well.
Having '3 legs' is great - l walk faster uphill that most bipedals, because the cane forms a 'balance triangle' and something to dig in and pull on. Walking poles used by make you look like a fit fitness freak, skier, fell walker, olympic walking champ rather than a target. If l'm walking at a dodgy time or place l walk with the metal tipped cane because 'audibly' walking thru an area, signals calm confidence. My friend occasionally uses a long wooden pole that looks very long staff/ bo staff haha
@@lindahornilla1339 Oh, I think striding has become second nature to me, yet the cane rescues me if I'm a bit off balance. Thanks for your helpful video
Thank you very much its big help for me to do your video excersices i just started yesterday only your hand , shoulder excersices and today seen this improve walking and how to use cane. I had stroke last June 27 2024 only and cant able to go out to undergo my theraphy in the hosp. But for 2 days doing this exercises i feel big changes already in my arms spamscity also in my shoulder. Thank you very much.
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 do not know if this will help. I have lower back pain that cause me to bend forward when I walk. My doctor recommended that I use a cane when walking, I do, but some how it does not feel safe.
I've had problems with only one leg becoming extremely fatigued after walking a short distance, so I got a cane, and I've learned how to use it properly, and it's the correct height. I have not found it to be very useful after my leg has fatigued. I'll give my thoughts in the next paragraph. Please correct me if I'm wrong: A cane is not a crutch. It's only for minor impairments. Leaning on it only tires you more. Used correctly, in my case, it's a tool to help me (mainly) with my balance, thereby eliminating a lot of micro movements we all make but are unaware of (I'm guessing). This prevents my leg from fatiguing as quickly. (Am I right, so far?) Once my leg becomes fatigued, my cane won't do me any good, and it's time to sit down and rest, which only takes a few minutes. (I've researched A LOT. I suspect I'm developing symptoms of MS. I'm 70 years old.) What did I get right, and what did I get wrong?
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. 😔
Thank you very helpful, i had a fracture on my left wrist and my right hip and leg is the weaker one. Due to my left-handed fracture i have to hold my cans with right hand.
Striving …… I enjoy your videos. I have Parkinson’s and my eyes keep closing. I have been getting Botox injections. Any help you can recommend will be much appreciated. Thanks so much 🙏
STRIDING BABY, never felt comfortable using a cane cause I didn’t know how and felt a bit embarrassed to but thanks for this my friend I think I’ll get myself one.
Several years ago I sprained my left ankle pretty bad and then developed Achilles Bursitis. Was told to use a cane until it healed properly. But was told to keep the cane up against my left foot and support a portion of my weight with my left arm and the cane. It felt natural considering the pain of putting ANY pressure on my foot at all.
Helpful instructions on using a cane properly. I hope the usage of my cane is temporary. I had my cane too high and it put presser on my bad shoulder. Thank you,
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.
Thank you for an instructive video. I was hit to the pavement by 2 cyclists 4 yrs ago and needed an operation on the right side of my lower back. I can walk about 20 steps on my own and bent only. Too painful to continue. With a roller I can walk for miles, even run, and have a straight back and no pain. Because a roller makes me feel and look too old (in my mind) I prefer to walk with a walking stick. Leaning on the cane I can walk slower and short distances only before I start feeling pain in my lower backside. The biggest problem seems to be the cane, - leaning on it irritates the muscles on my left upper arm, my shoulder, and all the way to my neck. Physiotherapy does not help. Could you please perhaps one day make another video about a problem like this? Thank you and regards from the northern parts of Europe.
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
Thank you for this information! I just recently had a section of skin removed the size of a Tennis ball from the inside of my left ankle from Melanoma. I also broke that foots 3rd and 4th metatarsal in a unrelated accident a week or so before my surgery. Can you believe that! I have the worst luck. I'm only 44 and I'm in pretty good shape until about a month ago. Pray for and wish me luck.☹😢😢🙏🙏
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.
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!
My doctor gave me the same advice. the problem is that it is not helping. I broke my hip and my pelvis when I was 10. I am 53 now and my hip sometimes wants to give out on me. The injury is on my right side and so when I need the support it's on the right side and I use the cane on my right side because when it starts to hurt or want to give out I use the cane for support on that side. It occurs randomly.

With this video, you are Abel to do it properly.
Very helpful. My can was too high and lowering it has really helped.
How the heck did you get your can lowered?!
@jamesprior2496 there are pins on an adjustable cane.
Thank you so much for your instructions.☺
I was using can without appropriate adjustment until I see your video. I hope to get better with the proper height adjustment. Thanks
Thanks for the instructions. Much appreciated.

It is most likely the neck that is the root of the problem. Please see a neurologist and update us with the findings

The injury is on my right side and so when I need the support it's on the right side and I use the cane on my right side because when it starts to hurt or want to give out I use the cane for support on that side. It occurs randomly.
Striding. Thanks for this video!
I do the same. I use the cane on the side of my painful leg. I do have a bad gait.too.
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?
What if it's for stability due to back issues? Does the side matter?
No. The concept related to this videonos when one leg is weaker or more unstable.
Nice bah gamit kaayo nko ang cane🙏😇
