In Remembrance
|
I've just gotten my first quad cane! I ordered it two days ago and
it just came today. ![]() Now, I have kind of an odd question: for those of you who use canes- doesn't matter what kind-which foot do you step forward with first? I use the cane on my left side, because that's the leg that gives me the most trouble-it's the same one that started giving me trouble back in '94. When I walk, I step forward with the right foot and bring the cane forward with my left hand at the same time. My father claims that I should be bringing the cane forward and stepping forward with my left foot (the side I'm having trouble with) at the same time. Now, I could swear that I'm walking the way they told me to walk when I went to PT years ago. Who's right? ![]()
