Amputee Advice - How to walk on stairs with crutches

[charliestrehle]

I have crutches because at certain times I can't walk on one of my legs, this IS easier on the second type of crutches, the old school crutches are harder because you have to lift your shoulders

You're such an inspiration

where can you get the forearm crutches you have? The only ones I ever see around are the the metal cuff ones that open up. Thanks for your videos. They are great.

I find it weird I enjoy these amputee videos of Josh's despite not ever having even known an amputee. :)

I would think it would be much harder for a girl as I think a guy might wear an amputation a bit like a badge of honour (see Josh's clip about 'did you lose your leg in Irag ?), whereas a pretty girl who becomes an amputee might think of herself as damaged goods and unattractive. Perhaps this doesn't make much sense and perhaps I am wrong but can you see what I am getting at ? I mean, does a pretty girl who loses a leg really undersatnd that, in some guys eyes, she becomes more desirable ?

[GBliners]

Hey Josh ! Why don't you find a gorgeous girl amp to do some of your training videos with you ? Have you ever heard of Lakyn Campbell ? LAK, gorgeous, great personaility !! It must be so much harder for girl amps to face this new lifestyle as a one legger ....

[MadyWolfe]

what makes it so much harder to face if you're a girl?

When I dont have my prosthesis on I use the "old school" very similar to what you show in the video. Three words..

STAIRES SCARE ME!

I'm overweight and off balance.

I have the cuff-type, but they are the cheesy ones that the slightest bit of weight on them the metal cuff opens right up.

[jabbawaka]

What brand of forearm crutches do you use? I've got some no-brand cheapos that are starting to wear out.
