I was on crutches for 6 months. It is crucial to be taught how to use them. This is a great video.

Really helpful. I've got ACL surgery soon and I've been told I'll probably need crutches for two weeks, but nothing about how to use them. Don't think post-op I'll be really clear headed and I've got 19 steps to deal with after getting home, so this came in handy and lessened my anxiety.

Thank you so much for your videos. I suffered from pinched nerve last year and your advice helped immensely. Now I'm recovering from a compound fracture from an ice fall and this crutch vid is extremely informative. Keep up the great work!

Sprained my ankle on both sides... Grade 3 with a boot and crutches. The only thing is I can use these things. Having them out a bit more is much better. I also couldn't figure out how to get up on my own. Thanks for the tips!

[dillmajohnson]
