👍👍👍 .. good tips. I'm 74, have bad knees and suffer somewhat from vertigo / balance issues. The balance problem unfortunately led me having to let my motorcycle go and stop cycling. That said .. I Nordic Walk 4-5 times per week, year round (Northern Switzerland). The correct gear will cater for most weather and anyway, as I tell my Swiss Walking Colleagues, to their amusement, "skin is waterproof, it's the clothing that gets wet." 😁. The Nordic Sticks, used correctly, are great for assisting in establishing a proper gait and thus maintaining good balance. I see people much older and less mobile than I, using Nordic Sticks to move around, albeit at a much slower pace. 'Turning' .. from a young age, I have instinctively followed the 'Inside / Outside Lane' Doctrine .. each foot and leg staying within their allotted lanes. 'Looking down' .. walking looking down at one's feet, at any age, is a recipe to end on one's face (driving / cycling too .. try focusing at the road directly in front of the car hood / bike front wheel and see how much you 'wander' back and forth across the road). Looking straight ahead (into the distance) when mobile, facilitates good balance .. the eyes being the 'gunsight' .. straight ahead, with the body following accordingly. Peripheral Vision and Eyeball glancing up and down will take care of obstacles and 'trip-up' points immediately ahead. Also, 'Situational Awareness' .. some are born without it 🙄😏, and which many of us tend to lose with advancing old age. Something to consciously 'work on' .. valuable in maintaining good balance and personal safety too. A good share .. advice well worth heeding, thanks. Take care ..

Great tips, thanks!

My physio told me it was important to also look at what you do with your arms. I was instructed to swing the tamden by swinging my arms alternately back and front. It really improved my walking confidence.

[@mollythomas4299]

Very good walking tips for seniors Thank you

[@daisysolomons9324]

Thank you for explaining this so slowly & repetitively, as if we were really thick. Which you obviously think we are.

[@jerrys5946]

Good info but I have one comment. We sometimes shuffle because of temporary pain in the back or legs. Some folks with chronic pain will shuffle constantly.

[@robertkhan7399]

THANKS FOR WALKING TIPS.

[@patbowers4180]

Thanks, scanning is what I need!

[@StephenSmith-ge1qf]

I keep walking whenever I get the chance.. Yesterday I did 22 kilometres with a climb up to 7500 feet. Some of the walk involved hands, too, as there were some pretty rocky stretches. I'm 2 months away from 70 and I intend to keep mountaineering as long as possible!

[@paulinewhite3273]

Good for you.

[@williamfleckles]

I'm not there....yet. I do have something to watch out for though. Thanks for posting.

[@johnziersch4605]

Thanks for the video. I've corrected my walking over the past years after I found I was making the mistakes you subscribed (with the help of an exercise physiologist where I'm living in South Australia).. I'm currently practicing scanning by not lowering my head if possible when looking down. BTW I'll be 75 in December. I'm single because I feel I'm too young to get married - I figured this because people are always asking me when I'm going to grow up.

[@usclaca1]

👍😁👏👏👏

[@ruthortega5822]

Thank you for this very informative video. I am 79 and walk 5 days a week. Depending on the weather, I walk either at the park or at the mall. I fell once, about 5 years ago, because of a jagged sidewalk and fractured my knee cap. Needless to day, I stay away from walking on sidewalks. Since then. I watch every step I take, but do not walk with my head down.

[@neurolasticinstitute424]

Wonderful!

[@monikagonzales2658]

I mentally think ok, one foot in front of another I repeat this in my head every time I walk. No matter the hip pain, no matter how long I’ve drove, no matter how tired I am or how sore my hip is that day. It’s a mantra “ one foot in front of Another.” Pretty soon in a matter of minutes I walk confidently.

[@juliefromusa2245]

Excellent video!

[@lesleyhorn1588]

Thank you for your video. I was doing exactly what your video explains.

Thank you for your understanding x great video 💚🍀🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@MCodger]

I've had both knees replaced;y rehab was interrupted (and therefore slowed) by a covid scare. I caught it back up with a stationary bike trainer. Walking can be tough simply due to weather; I've gotten very sensitive to heat, and this summer has been near nuclear. After hearing the 4, I can attest that 1,3,& 4 are a non-issue. #2, I'll have to check on.

[@debbiem6406]

I’ve had a few falls from wearing Crocs shoes. The oversized toe area gets stuck as I’m waking, especially if I’m tired and legs feel fatigued.

[@carolpeterson5515]

I’ve had 2 knee replacements and even after PT my knees are not as flexible as, nor do they perform like natural knees. I’ve lost some feedback from foot strike so I do have to pay special attention to changes in walking surfaces to guard against an unexpected adjustment. Also, I recently read that bi or trifocals glasses which many seniors use can cause miscalculation of distances and surfaces. In a perfect senior world we’d all have a normal gait, our eyes would be mostly straight ahead and we wouldn’t have to compensate for other factors we can’t control.

[@jeyaaravamadhu2016]

Thank you for giving the good advice.

[@jaapongeveer6203]

I find putting one foot in front of the other works well for me.

[@DavLeyAli]

I’m a 72 year old female and I was walking a week ago to catch my bus and I found a piece of black ice and down I went and I was scanning because that’s how I usually walk. The back of my head hit the pavement and I really hit it because the next morning my neck was quite sore from being jerked back.

It is called a marching turn. It is how soldiers turn on the parade ground.

[@welshgruff]

I think the shuffle walk comes when the person loses upper body strength so finds it difficult to lift one leg at a time. So important as one ages to keep doing the core strength exercises and practice balance

[@ShafqatAra-jj4ti]

What if your knees are swollen and painful?

[@andyiswonderful]

Walking is an unconscious activity. When you are walking, you are not thinking about every step you take. So, how do you expect a person to walk with the mindfulness that you describe here?

[@diosdadoapias]

Learn military walk and turn and you will not unbalanced .when soldiers are marching and the command goes this way to the rear march! Everybody willgo to the rear but their feet will not cross the other legs but open straddle so they will not tumble as they turn to the rear.

[@danionthegogogo]

Shorter shorts when filming knees - LOL!

You appear to be about half my age and therefore I am more qualified to say the one thing that causes seniors to fall is getting up to refill your coffee cup instead of sending a grandkid. I have never fallen while sitting in my recliner. Make this same video in about another 40 years and see how it turns out. Have a good one..

[@neurolasticinstitute424]

Hello and thanks for commenting. If I am half your age then you’re about 120 years old? I think I’m at the age where if anyone who guesses I’m a lower age, it’s a bit of a thrill. All kidding aside, I hear your comment. I have been doing this for 31 years and pretty much exclusively have worked with people in their 80s the entire time. I have heard that comment so often that I do take it to heart. What I am presenting here is based on my experience with thousands of people, your age, and also a tremendous amount of research on seniors on how they can maintain their movement. Clearly, staying active is the key to remaining mobile. But from time to time getting your grandchild to refill, your coffee is not the worst thing. Cheers!

[@AlphaGeekgirl]

00:32 1) Walking with a slight bend in the knee 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@columbmurray]

Always put the left foot in front of the right foot when walking never the other way around. I'm 81 years.

[@Sujowi]

So you recommend hopping?

[@Bearwithme560]

@@Sujowi 🤣 Better response than any l could think of, to a bizarre recommendation, other than must we all have two left feet to move?

[@ehawolczecki8759]

Maybe they meant to start walking left foot first ….bit strange tho.

[@GeraldDove-i1z]

This is a strange video consisting of only text "STIFF-KNEE WALKING". It contains very helpful information, but is denied those who may be prone to falls, and are hard of hearing. Subtitles would be far more beneficial.

A lot of seniors perform a crossover because we we’re baseball players stealing bases or football player. Retrain the brain I guess.

Haha! Good one!

[@neurolasticinstitute424]

Ha! When I was in PT school they tuaght us that it was helpful to teach our client's to perfrom crossovers. Turns out, that was wrong. In the elderly it increases falls. Who knew?
