    Thank you fellas for this wonderful video! I started using a cane for stability and left side issues, from an earlier video you taught me the correct way to use my cane! I did come to realize it needed to be lowered to the height of my wrist. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    I've used a walking staff to bear weight, because the staff is about your hight or taller you can grab up high and sort of hang your weight off of it. They are particularly useful going down stairs or muddy slopes because you can get weight on the downslope before putting your bad leg down, which can be a real benefit if you twisted the ankle or knee in question. Even on very steep slopes you can almost always get a six foot staff down to something solid.

    I teach Walking for Fitness classes to seniors. We introduce "Nordic Walking" to utilize more upper body muscles for more fitness benefits. Participants with back and other joint issues enjoy using them to support their body weight.

    Also, if you use a cane and have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, the correct style of cane is crucial. An inappropriate style can make the condition worse. I experienced this myself and now use an "offset" cane which is similar to the black metal cane in this video.

  • @shdwbnndbyyt

    IF you cut a walking stick or cane too short, you can add back height by adding a metal (steel or bronze) end piece up to several inches long at the bottom. Not only will it provide the extra height, but it is very useful if you have to defend yourself with it....

      Couldn't you also just glue some of the wooden part back?

    • @shdwbnndbyyt
      @shdwbnndbyyt Před 7 měsíci

      @@Babu-kr3cr You would need to add a pin or something or the glued section (usually at the bottom of the cane/staff) would be likely break apart at the glue point.... even the metal tip would need to be covering the bottom 3-4 inches of the wooden staff and be attached by glee and screws along the sides.

    Good episode. I have a new hobby making walking sticks. Some more cain height others longer like 4.5 to 5 ft tall. Each stick is unique and individually customized. Using my personal stick to find others in woods and thicket helps my aging body navigate over things that could otherwise trip me. Even on a daily walk in the park I find a using a walking stick very useful.

    I've been doing it wrong. I was using it with the bad hip as an extra leg on the same side. It works better on the opposite side. The only thing, my wooden cane is five inches taller than my wrist. I am wondering if I should cut it or leave it in case I wear shoes that have a 2" heel.

    • @elizabethklute
      @elizabethklute Před 7 měsíci +1

      Get a second cane the right height and adjust the one you have with your heels in. That said I have a hip problem, I wouldn't go near heels due to their inherent instability on me. But that's just me 😂.

    • @BobandBrad
      @BobandBrad  Před 7 měsíci +3

      Have you considered getting a second Aluminum cane that can easily be adjusted and spend some time seeing how it works with both shoes. This would be the best before cutting the wooden cane,. Brad

    Hey guys! This is a question not related to this video.. hope that's ok. Could you (or have you in the past) made a video of stretches to do in the pool? I am regular at my local pool, and they have a wonderful hot plunge pool as well, where I do my stretches after my aquatics classes. I'd love to incorporate some of your suggestions, if you have any. All my best!
