How To Use Assistive Devices. (Nurs105 Proj.)

A video for my nursing 105 class about how to use crutches, a walker, and a cane.
For crutches we review the different gaits of usage, how they are used for sitting/standing and going up/down stairs. Please enjoy this informative video :)

PS- Yes I am still alive just very BUSY!!! Enjoy this mildly amusing video :D!!!!!!!

PPS-I did not include my group members names in this box incase they don't want to be "youtubed" by name xD

PPPS- This video reminded me of the times I volunteered in rehab ^-^

PPPPS- I spelled a word wrong D'oh! oh well xP

at 0:16 the nurse is not executing proper body mechanics, its not a good impression.

Actually the bed wasn't working so we couldn't raise it or anything T.T

[CrimsonHikari]

yer nurse didn't take a stroll with you in the end o_o;

oooh Moon Mama! I'm so happy you recovered in 8mins ^__^

[RSooperfly]

Yes my recovery was due to the miracle of nursing xD My nurse was too lazy to stroll with me... LOL j/k ;P

I'm reviewing for my boards right now and this video was SUPER helpful!! Thank you!!

[ladysammantha]

thanks it helped alot....now im ready to have my return demo tommorow

[dizzyA3]

it has nothing to do with the bed. the nurse was just not standing properly. it shows a bad impression towards the patient. nurses should have proper body mechanics.

[kilerkiss]

im a nurse here in philipppines.... youre cute hehe

[divadzor]

thank youf for posting this video

[Luisita428]

Very confusing! First when the patient uses the stairs to ambulate always goes up with the unaffected side and goes down with the affected. Good = goes to heaven (up) Bad = goes to hell (down)... and the 3 point gait is really bad, please revise it!!!
