How To Go Up & Down Stairs With Crutches

[@Rayd]

I’ve got a leg fracture and before I can walk in the boot I’ve got crutches. This video is a life saver.

[@modernsportspt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sammybeazer]

Thanks for this video broke my ankle 2 days ago, my building has steps I couldn’t remember how i did it when i got home from the emergency room. Now i got it thanks. 🙏🏾

[@marisahaines3594]

I guess this work if you can put some weight on the leg. How about with complete a non-bearing weight injury like a surgical fracture?

[@ophthodoc]

Right. I can’t put any weight on and have 13 stairs.

[@joemiller2291]

Yeah, even though he has the right leg marked it sure looks like he's putting weight on it sometimes.

[@ejr6968]

@@ophthodoc I'm sure this is too late now, but my PT showed me how to go up and down stairs on my butt until I was partial weight bearing. I'm sure there's a video on that!

[@asteven8]

@@ejr6968 yup, that’s what I do! I’m in the same boat as the original commenter. I cant put any weight in my leg as I’m only 3 weeks post-surgery.

[@ejr6968]

@@asteven8 I'm so sorry! It's such a long road - a lot longer than I thought or expected. I hope everything works out well for you!

[@ejr6968]

This is so funny! I could not remember what I was supposed to do and now I'll never forget! Thank you!

[@jenniferjuneau7329]

Well no this didn’t help... what if you can’t put pressure down or stand on bad leg?

[@SerenoOunce]

+1 Would be more helpful if he demonstrated a non-weight bearing scenario.

[@alinamartinez9626]

Its helpful for weight bearing. Look up other videos for non weight bearing.

[@BrigitteCoffman]

Excellent demonstration

[@gothicyid]

I tried your way. My knee locked with bad foot down and I fell off the step onto the concrete now my knee is hurting in two places. What should I do,?

[@julierowe102]

Thank you! I am non weight bearing left ankle and want to get used to using crutches. Good way to remember ♥️❤️‍🩹

[@iamray09]

This only work if u can put pressure on your injured leg. Which I can’t

[@alinamartinez9626]

This is helpful when you can walk again. You still need crutches to walk again since the leg is weak

[@ncm222]

but i cant use my bad leg at all, how can i do it then?

[@KatIoannou]

Thank you I’ll need this

[@sandraobrien8705]

I cannot do this, terrified of hurting my bad leg.

[@gallavtoptrash7062]

Me too. Just injured myself Saturday night. But I just want to sleep In my own bed so bad :(

[@sandraobrien8705]

@@gallavtoptrash7062 Oh I'm sorry 😑 It is a tough injury. I had to wait a week in hospital for the swelling to go down enough for them to be able to operate. It is a long, slow business if you have to have ORIF but you will get there. Hope you're home soon.

[@samuelruiz4934]

Can one walk up and down the stairs when they are overweight?

[@pepasa8017]

what is you can't use the injured leg.....and can't put pressures

[@AbundantlyHappyLisa]

Thanks for making that SO easy to ‘get’. I appreciate you!

[@ghggp1]

Thank you so much… great video

[@100Kappes]

Thank you so much!

I learned to go up differently

[@royalexbum3739]

But what if I can’t stand on my bad foot

[@karlamunoz7349]

Thanks man, this was really helpful

[@captainfano7287]

Thanks

[@peggydeforest2882]

Wow, I had to turn my volume all the way up and still strained to hear😢

[@TheRightWingNut]

Probably should mention this doesn't work if someone I'd non weight bearing. Crutches will go first every time then.

If I could walk like that, I wouldn't need crutches! Useless

[@alinamartinez9626]

No this is for people who can weight bear. You think you can walk straight afterwards with no assistance is crazy. You need assistance when you start walking again
