It Makes a Difference!<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>This is where the entertainment industry almost always goes wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you are using one crutch or a cane, hold it with the hand opposite the side of your injury.<\/p>\n<h5>If that seems counter-intuitive, I will explain the rationale.<\/h5>\n<p>When we walk, we naturally swing our arms, swinging the right arm forward as we step with the left foot. It is this natural opposite arm-leg motion that you want to preserve when using a cane or one crutch.<\/p>\n<p>If you are stepping forward with your injured right foot, you will want to advance the cane in the left hand to allow your left hand and upper body to absorb some of your weight.<\/p>\n<p>If a cane is held on the same side as your injury, you will walk robotically.<\/p>\n<p>Try it and you\u2019ll see what I mean! If you don\u2019t have an injury, walk without a cane and try swinging your right arm forward at the same time as you step with the right.<\/p>\n<p>Keep the pattern going as you step with the left.<\/p>\n<h5>Feels strange, doesn\u2019t it?

If the cane is sized correctly, your elbow should be bent about 20 degrees when holding it.<\/p>\n<h5>If the cane is too tall, it will force you to hike your shoulder up or lean the other way \u2014 onto your injured side. Too short and you will have to bend your side toward the cane.<\/h5>\n<p>To size <strong>crutches<\/strong>, stand upright with the base of each crutch about two inches to the side of your feet and six inches in front of your feet.<\/p>\n<p>Most important is to allow a couple of fingers to fit comfortably between your armpit and the top of your crutches (1.5-3 inches).<\/p>\n<p>Provided you also avoid leaning on them, this will prevent excess pressure on the axillary nerve.<\/p>\n<p>As with a cane, when sized correctly, your hand should rest at your hip, with your elbow bent about 20 degrees.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ortohispania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Freedom-Canes-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ortohispania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Freedom-Canes-2.jpg\" alt=\"cane or crutch\" width=\"402\" height=\"261\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For some reason, when hospitals and physicians dispense assistive devices, they sometimes do so without providing enough instruction.<\/p>\n<p>I would recommend working with a physical therapist to learn how to walk with crutches or a cane, as well as how to negotiate stairs safely.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to re-learn proper gait pattern in order to focus on achieving a return to your pre-injury level of function \u2014 and to keep from establishing bad habits that might be tough to break.<\/p>\n<h5>This will also aid in your overall recovery.<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ortohispania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG-20170306-WA0000.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5289\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ortohispania.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG-20170306-WA0000.jpg\" alt=\"cane or crutch\" width=\"474\" height=\"277\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00bfBaston o Muleta?
