STAIRS
If it is essential to use the stairs and you have not been advised
otherwise, try to have someone with you until you feel safe. Hold onto at
least one handrail if possible. Hold the spare crutch together with the handle
of the remaining crutch.
The crutch(es) go on the same step as the affected leg.
Going Up
The unaffected leg goes first, with the crutches, being followed by the
affected leg onto the same step. The procedure is repeated.
Going Down
The affected leg goes first with the crutches, being followed by the unaf
-
fected leg onto the same step. The procedure is repeated.
CHAIRS
Getting Up:
Crutches should be near or held in one hand. Push up with one crutch and the
opposite arm of the chair to assist in standing. Once standing up, ensure the
arm is secured inside the cuff.
ELBOW CRUTCHES
Sitting Down:
Position yourself in front of the chair ready to sit down. Remove both
arms from the crutches, hold the crutches in one hand or place near
chair. Sit down.
