Incomplete Paraplegic Walking - WALKER VS FOREARM CRUTCHES

Walker vs Forearm Crutches - Part 1 of 2!
In Part 1 of this series I revisit walking with a walker. It's been many years since I've tried one out.v Now in Part 2 which I will post over the net few days I will walk using my forearm crutches and the end of "Part 2" I will tell you which aided walking device I prefer!
If you haven't already please SUBSCRIBE. Just Click that RED button at the bottom of the video and Click the Notification Bell that way you will be notified when I post the Forearm walking video and reveal which one I prefer most!
I suffered and T12 incomplete spinal cord injury 22 years ago. As you can see in this video and others I have posted I have movement and strength in my lower body. This is due to being incomplete. I rely on a certain amount of spasticity to help stand up and walk. If my spasticity is to intense as you will se in this video I am not able to walk freely. Thankfully I figured out how to calm my spasms down which will allows my to walk. Now on the flip side if I don't have enough spasticity my legs are like wet noodles. There is barely any strength to hold me up which then I have to bare all the weight through my arm and shoulders.
Enjoy the video. and stay tuned for PART 2!

Hope ur still staying active daily, keep up the amazing job, most important/ please seek God, he will see you Thru all struggles and setbacks, I know this because I am a quadriplegic that has been healed thru Christ Jesus, I thank Him each and every day for the miracle I’ve received, although I know I don’t deserve it but God is merciful. Glory to God and God bless.

[@BackAlleyScamChats]

I dont blame you not trying to sit on the walker. ⚠️

[@paralifetv-youreverydaywhe8314]

I actually did sit on a walker seat one time in a department store. I was trying it out for a possible purchase. This was a about 10 years ago. The seat on that particular walker was much bigger and sturdier. The one in the video. not so much.

[@hypermobilityandhope1255]

Great video, thanks for posting! I'm amazed you walked that whole way without a sitting break! Just a thought- when I first started out I used a rollator walker like the one in your video but found I was putting way too much weight through my arms to compensate for balance problems, leading to bad posture and more pain (and using a ton of energy). I eventually started using a two-wheeled walker and that's been much better at for balance, posture, and conserving energy. Looking forward to watching your videos on using forearm crutches!😊

[@paralifetv-youreverydaywhe8314]

Hello! Sorry for the delay in response. Your comment was held in the "Review" category for some reason lol. Thanks for the feedback. I find it does take a lot of energy like you said. I haven't been doing much walking at all due to my AFO's needing repair! I appreciate you watching.. Cheers!

[@BoxVanDee]

Hi Shane, Glad to know you have a channel. I thought you did very good in the walker. I imagine it is hard on your arms and very tiring. I will be watching for Part 2.

[@paralifetv-youreverydaywhe8314]

It gets tiring. I don't walk nearly enough. I've been gradually building up but still prefer the wheelchair. It's faster :)

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@matthews2122]

Usually with a Rollator walker you just have to push down on the brakes to lock them

[@RoundeyeSamurai]

Hell yeah, Shane. That's damn good. Hard on the right shoe though, it seemed to drag a lot more than the left. BZ brother.

[@paralifetv-youreverydaywhe8314]

Yeah about the right shoe! In Part 2 I talk a bit about that...

[@ChrisCleverCraft]

Great video ! I'm expecting You are going to like the crutches since You have tried the walker at one time and chose the crutches then ! 😄

[@paralifetv-youreverydaywhe8314]

Thanks checking out the video. Yes, I prefer the crutches. I tried the walker a few times but always feel more comfortable with the forearm crutches.

[@wilerichunstopableentertai2051]

BZ, Brother. That was damned impressive.

[@OlekW]

I see on your videos that you stand up very easy. I use my walker in shops usually, in the terrain crutches.

[@paralifetv-youreverydaywhe8314]

Are you able to walk for long distances with the walker?

[@OlekW]

@@paralifetv-youreverydaywhe8314 Not too long, the distance enough for shopping but it isn't a long distance. Maximal about 1 km in the time 40-50 minutes, I think so that I can walk without break. Much depends on my spasticity.

[@paralifetv-youreverydaywhe8314]

@@OlekW Much longer than I. Once in a blue moon when shopping if someone is with me I'll use the shopping cart to use as a walker while whoever is with me will jump in my chair. When I get tired we trade off. We've gotten some funny looks lol

[@OlekW]

@@paralifetv-youreverydaywhe8314 I walk a little bit better than You. Every SCI is different but you are awesome because lots of paraplegic resigns from walking and walk exercises. For paraplegics wheelchair using is easier than walking. For me as a quadriplegic walking is better than riding on a wheelchair. My hand grip is very bad. You have a big potential in your legs but you train it less than me, I think so. I train legs all the time, the progress is very small. I see this progress in many years periods. One year is too short for comparison. After many years it's boring especially that your hands are alright. Respect also that you don't use an electric wheelchair. Many choose the easier solution.

[@paralifetv-youreverydaywhe8314]

@@OlekW I've watched you videos, You walk very well. Much better than I. I tend to use my chair more for safety and convenience. If I go shopping I can't carry anything as my hands are on my crutches and I'm slooooow/ In my chair I'm in and out! lol. Also I've fallen before and thankfully I haven't broke a wrist or leg. I've know people who have fallen, broke their leg and were out of commission for over a year and never could fully recover. I am making it a habit to walk outside along my driveway for exercise during the nice weather.
