insoles for walking

In the heel area there is a cushioning silicone insert in the shape of a honeycomb. It is surrounded by a breathable fiber.

Technical means of rehabilitation for disabled and bedridden patients

In the postoperative period sticks and crutches are an indispensable means of rehabilitation in the postoperative period. If you are looking for poles for a relatively short period of time, you can choose universal telescopic poles with height adjustment. They fold up quickly and are easy to transport and store.

Many people need sticks all the time - they make it easier to get around and are loyal companions on walks and on the train. The ideal gift for these people would be an elegant walking stick made of precious wood. The disadvantage is that they are heavier than those made of hollow metal. Wooden walking sticks are more difficult to assemble, but you can shorten them by cutting off the excess and regluing the end. The correct length is determined by your hand: when you grip the handle, the angle of your forearm in relation to your body should be 10-30 degrees.

The size of the cane handle must be adapted to the grip strength of your hand so that you can move effectively and safely. Our experts can help you choose the right cane. You will find a model that meets your cost and quality requirements. You can find the telephone numbers of our consultants on our website.

A stylish and reliable walking stick is a good companion for many men and women who have mobility problems.

Walking sticks

They provide additional support and support balance during movement for people who have difficulty walking independently. Cripples relieve stress on both the spine and the affected leg.

Cripples do not replace independent mobility like a wheelchair, nor do they take on the weight of a walking aid. They only serve as a stabilization aid.

Cripples are used by disabled people, people with coordination problems and people who can no longer walk independently (injuries, broken bones, etc.). For older people, cripples are important as support.

What to consider when choosing a stick

Podiatrists and physical therapists have a number of specific criteria and rules for choosing a cane. It is important not to focus on the price and appearance, but on your own comfort and certain features that create comfort. First and foremost, it is important to evaluate:

If, when choosing and purchasing, all the physiological characteristics of the person who needs additional support are taken into account, the cane will be effective and safe, provide a feeling of comfort and allow more active movement without assistance.

Length of the stick

There are simple instructions on how to find the right length for your height.

1. Stand on a flat surface and keep your feet upright.
2. Place both arms loosely against your body and bend them at the elbows: about 20º. Then ask someone close to you to measure the distance between the wrist bone area (on the side of the little finger) and the ground. This is the length of stick you need.

Note that it is better to match the cane to the shoes you plan to wear every day. If you plan to wear shoes with different sole thicknesses or (for women) different heels, a telescopic cane is more suitable. Its height can be adjusted to suit different conditions (shoe height, surface).

Below is a table that can help you choose the right height for your cane. It is a guideline and it is important that you individually assess the comfort of the cane by trying on several sizes from the smallest to the largest before purchasing.

Weight of the stick

When choosing walking sticks for the elderly, you should first pay attention to the weight of the product. This is one of the most important criteria because you have to walk with the stick for a long time. If it is a single-pointed stick, the weight is around 200-500 grams. Three- and four-pointed sticks weigh up to 1000-1200 grams. You decide which stick is right for you based on your feeling and your assessment of how much you can wear.

Who should use a cane?

Using a cane can be recommended for an entire group of people. This includes:

• People of all ages recovering from surgery (pelvis, lower limbs);
• Patients with injuries to the foot, shin, hip or pelvis (fractures, dislocations, sprains). A cane is needed when motor function is restored to relieve pressure on the injured limb;
• People of all ages with coordination problems due to neurological or other diseases;
• Elderly people who have difficulty moving and supporting themselves;
• Patients who have pain or severe discomfort in their joints or limbs when walking;
• People who have difficulty climbing up and down stairs or walking on uneven surfaces, or who have difficulty walking with great force.

Another option is canes for the blind, where you need to know how to choose the height.

How to choose the right cane for an elderly person

The cane must be stable, comfortable and at the correct height. When choosing a model, strength, stability when walking and the physical condition of the elderly person should be taken into account.

Handle

It varies in shape, material and thickness. If you have arthritic wrists, consider choosing a cane with a T-shaped curved or rounded (gooseneck) handle to relieve pressure.

If you don't need a special grip shape, choose a stick that is comfortable.

Walking stick material

Wooden models are cheaper, but aluminum models are lighter, height adjustable, easier to maneuver, and usually have more features.

Height adjustment

Many walking sticks are height adjustable, but some are not. How to set the correct height:

1. With your shoes on, place the stick next to your foot and lower your arm down, extending your elbow.
2. Your wrist should be level with the top of the handle.
3. Grab the stick by the handle. Your elbow should be comfortably bent at a 15-20 degree angle.

If the stick is too long, you will have to struggle to pick it up and move it. If it is too short, the older person will lean to one side and may lose their balance.

Great

The end of the cane has a cap, usually made of rubber, which provides stability and support while walking and prevents the cane from slipping.

Usually poles have only one tip, but there are also more robust models that can have three or four tips. Such models provide more stable ground contact than single-tipped poles, but are heavier and bulkier. Models with three or four tips are needed for people with disabilities:

There are also models with an anti-ice nozzle. These have a special mechanism with an extendable, pointed bar that prevents slipping when walking on ice.

How to properly walk with a stick

Using a cane incorrectly increases the risk of falls and can result in injury. Consider the following recommendations:

1. Hold the cane in your hand on the side of the good leg so that it supports the opposite lower extremity. For example, if you have pain in your right hip, hold the stick in your left hand.
2. If you need the cane to help with balance problems, hold it in the hand you use less. This means that if you are right-handed, it is better to hold the stick in your left hand.
3. Move the stick at the same time as the sore leg, as if waving your hand. Support yourself on the stick and the sore leg at the same time.
4. As you take a step forward with your good leg, hold onto the stick.
5. When climbing stairs, hold onto the railing (if there is one) with one hand and the cane with the other hand. Take a step with the good leg and then with the bad leg, moving the stick at the same time.
6. To descend, place the stick and the affected leg on the lower step, then take a step with the other leg.

If the cane is used incorrectly, a noticeable limp can be seen from the side. Walking with a cane should look like a healthy person walking normally.

Proper movement on crutches with elbow support

What applies to the general principles of walking on crutches also applies to walking on crutches with elbow support. Simply adjust the height of the crutches and armrests so that you can walk comfortably. When supporting the healthy leg, the arms must be bent at the joints at an angle of 30°. Two elbow supports should be used at the beginning of rehabilitation and one in the second and subsequent phases.
The principles of walking with arm crutches are the same as with armpit crutches. The only difference is that the hands are supported from the elbows to the wrists. Using crutches with elbow support is more difficult.

Use a crutch to go up and down stairs and always use the crutch with your hand on the side of the good leg. Hold onto the railing with your hand on your good leg. The crutch that is not in use must be placed forward. Haste is your enemy.

How to sit and stand on crutches

If you want to sit on something, make sure it is stable. With an injured leg, getting up from the ground is very difficult, if not impossible. When sitting in a chair, bend your good leg and support yourself with one hand on the seat or backrest. Hold both crutches firmly with your other hand. It is even better to place the chair against the wall.

Finally, Topzdrav will tell you the most important thing. Follow your doctor's advice and do not start using crutches without his or her permission. This will help you heal faster and prevent you from having to use crutches. Choose the right type and size so you don't have to use crutches that don't belong to you. Don't rush, always take the best route. Try to walk where there are people; If you fall, someone will help you up. Most importantly, live so that you never have to use crutches.

Choosing crutches for crutches

When fitting, place your hand inside the cuff and place the crutch approximately 6 inches from your foot. Your elbow should be bent at a 15-20 degree angle. The correct position of the cuff is at a distance from the strongest point of the elbow:

Length is a crucial factor when choosing a pole. To determine the correct stick length, stand upright, keep your hands free and bend them slightly at the elbow (approximately 15-20 degrees), with the handle of the stick on the bend line of the wrist.

Walking stick variants

• Standard walking stick. The walking stick is made of plastic or wood. It is equipped with a special rubber tip and handle. It is suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find a cane that fits a person perfectly because it has an unchanging standard length.
• The universal telescopic poles are adjustable in height and can be stored folded.
• The collapsible cane is designed for convenient storage and transportation.

With age, the risk of damage and injuries to bones and joints increases. Doctors therefore recommend that older people avoid increased strain on the body by using aids that provide support and security when walking. Walking sticks protect against possible injuries and provide security during healthy walks outdoors.
In order for walking to be effective and safe, it is important to choose the right grip size for the strength of the hand. Your doctors will help you choose the right model so that you find the one that meets your needs in terms of both cost and product quality.

Where to buy and choose

The market is full of a wide variety of this type of equipment, but purchasing such a product should be characterized by high quality and reliability. Walking sticks can be purchased at pharmacies, medical equipment stores, orthopedic salons, and trauma kiosks.

Here are some examples of the most important variants:

• Elegant sticks made of fine wood make excellent gifts. They have the disadvantage that they weigh more than hollow metal sticks. Wooden sticks are more difficult to adjust, but can be shortened by cutting off the excess and regluing the tip. The correct length is determined by the hand: when gripping the handle, the angle of the forearm in relation to the body should be 10-30 degrees. There are also models made of light wood, but these can be less durable. Disadvantages may also include that they are not height adjustable, that they usually have a comfortable plastic handle, and that they are covered with varnish.
• Steel poles are generally not adjustable. Their advantage is their low cost and longevity.
• Aluminum poles have received positive reviews due to their versatile properties. There are models as non-adjustable and as telescopic poles with a height adjustment of 70 to 90 cm. These aids are lighter than their wooden counterparts, but much more stable (up to 100 kg). Some models are equipped with an anti-slip device.

Additional note: The height should be chosen so that the hand resting on the stick is bent at the elbow by 15 degrees when the body is in an upright position.
