Crutch Handles

My left leg is in a splint Zimmer and can not bend. I'm at the point where I can get by on a crutch or even a cane. I know how to manage the stairs, but am not sure what is the best way to go up and down an escalator. If the good or bad leg go first? Hope for an answer by Monday, July 3. Thank you.

Have you ever heard the expression "Put your best foot forward"?

Dude, the right leg is still left and the left leg is still
Figure right.go!

The right leg should go first on and off the Climb. good luck: 0)

you move it with your good leg, the crutch is to help support your lower leg.

Most steps are fairly flat at the top and bottom. The right foot should go first, followed by crutches. Go down the escalator, crutches must come first. I went through a similar experience several years ago and found the above method worked best for me.

If you must use stairs, step onto your right foot, and keep the stair handrail with a firm grip.

If an elevator is an option, it is the wisest, safest. Crutches and leg bum escalator to use a very delicate thing.

I hope you get better
I'm sorry for your broken leg

bad leg down first.

Just fall. The stairs lead you up and push you off automatically.

Escalator can drag you, if you do not balance. Certainly someone who has an orthopedic problem must always be careful and avoid walking on the moving surfaces.
Unless the ground beneath your feet is firm, you can not balance your body like other normal people.
In fact, the balance will be difficult to water too. Rivers, pools or watery surfaces you drag. Be very careful, but go ahead.

Good walk, better yet, use the elevator

Still not something harder with your legs in order to have full strength to take a step back, if you need. Pushing off with the leg brace in order to have your good leg to take / you support the transition of the surface.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. (Hint: Press the treatment - make them really challenge you)

Good first round. Is this how you approach the stairs? If it is then it would be the same with an escalator. I hope you mend quickly.

good

use your right leg so that your poor can follow

All the "good" Steph

Since your left leg is the culprit. I must say, your right foot. Try balancing and practice. I hope you do not travel alone. But if all else fails, ask for help!

Patience too ~ Practice makes perfect
