Показать описание
Learn how to use crutches properly, as well as important nursing information for NCLEX, HESI, and ATI exams.

Assistive devices, such as crutches, canes, and walkers, provide patients with the opportunity to become mobile. As a nurse, it's important to understand the basics about assistive devices.

In this video, you'll learn the following:

-How to use crutches properly
-How to adjust crutches to the proper height (2-3 fingers between armpit and crutch pad, with arm at 30 degrees and handle at around hip line)
-Two-Point Gait Demonstration (2-point gait)
-Three-Point Gait Demonstration (3-point gait)
-Four-Point Gait Demonstration (4-point gait)
-Swing-To Gait
-Swing-Through Gait
-How to use crutches on stairs (going up stairs and going down stairs- with demonstration)
-How to sit down in a chair with crutches
-How to get out of a chair with crutches

Although this lecture focuses on crutches for nursing student exams such as NCLEX, HESI, and ATI, the information and demonstrations is also relevant to anyone who uses crutches as an assistive device or for those practicing nursing skills, CNA skills, physical therapists, occupational therapists, rehabilitation centers, and so forth.

Hi Nurse Sarah! I took the exam last June 3, 2023. Got the results yesterday, and passed! I promised myself to leave a comment here after passing. Thank you so much for your videos! I learned a lot! A little background about me: I graduated 16 yrs ago, yr 2007. My first try was last Nov 2022 but failed at 75 items. Now at my 2nd try, I passed at 85 items. I watched some of your videos, along with Simple Nursing videos. Thank you again!

Great explanation. It makes us easy to understand as the demonstration has been shown with the theory simultaneously. Thank you. 😊

Thank you so much Sarah, I have been struggling to find a demonstration and explanation on this topic that I could really understand, after watching this demo I understand completely. You are an angel. Thank you for your service of sharing your talent.

Thank you so much Sarah! This is my last semester in nursing and I have learned and relearned these crutches since Fundamentals but for some reason I kept forgetting the gaits and the order for walking! I wish I would've found this video sooner, but I'm glad I found it now because I think I'll never forget crutches again!
