Thanks, @@gineenspring855! We’ve had a lot of practice but it’s still a scary activity! 😱

@@AECorner Many thanks! I ordered the white jacket for myself, but was unable to order the black jacket for my husband because his size is sold out at the moment. On another note - The adaptive women’s clothing seems to be quite popular, as many styles are sold out in the smaller to medium sizes. A bit frustrating, as I’ll have to wait for a bit to grab one of those lovely gray print sweaters when they come back into stock. I wish they’d stock more variety of women’s clothing, as right now, they appear to cater more to men.

@@probablynot1368 We’re so glad you were able to order at least one jacket. Sorry to hear the other jacket and sizes were out of stock. MagnaReady clothing is high quality, very comfortable and totally worth the wait. This clothing line was started by a woman whose husband was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson so that why there are more men’s clothing than women’s. However their women’s line has really come a long way over the past couple of years.

@@jeanieallison4899 Glad you found it helpful! 🥰🥰

@@jailsoninline4530 The green piece of tape indicates the hip abductors, specifically the gluteus medius and minimus muscles in this area. These muscles are responsible for hip abduction, which is this sideways movement. The same muscle group also acts as an abductor when you stand on one leg. It contracts to hold your pelvis level. If this muscle is weak, the pelvis will drop on the unsupported side. This weakness is what we assess with the Trendelenburg sign. In this test, the individual stands on one leg and lifts the other. Ideally, the hips should remain level. However, if the hip on the unsupported side drops, it indicates weakness in the abductor muscles. If the hip doesn't maintain a level position while walking, there wouldn't be enough clearance for the swinging leg. To compensate for this weakness, people tend to lean towards the stronger side, which creates a hitching gait pattern.

Absolutely, Marilyn! Safety first!

Thank you for your engagement!

Thank you for your feedback, @drewka7436. That's a valid concern. We understand how seeing an able-bodied person use adaptive equipment might not fully represent how it functions in everyday life.

Chica (the dog Cindy is holding) is a great emotional support dog. 🐶🥰 Regarding a self-care care recipient, have you considered joining a group on Facebook for other unrepresented patients? I don't know your age, but if you are 60+, are you involved with your local area agency on aging? They might have programs that can help provide support.

Great question, @@abou8963! Our brand colors are purple, orange and bright lime green. We chose the bright lime green because it’s one of the last colors people with dementia are able to notice. We felt purple and orange went with the green 🥰

@@williamfoster5456 WOW that’s a tall step! So glad you found our video helpful 🥰🥰 Christina & Cindy AECorner.com

@@CharlesLasecki, yes, this is a technique that can be used. It usually works best if you have a limited number of steps (1-2), because it can be difficult to get a safe/level adjustment between the front and back legs of the walker depending on the walker height adjustment and step height. Additionally, when backing up the steps, the FRONT legs would be the longer adjustment and the BACK legs would be the shorter adjustment. Hope this helps! AECorner.com

@@ATLGETREADY4ME It looks like a small SUV. What’s the height of the seat from the ground? Are you transferring from a wheelchair? What’s the height of the wheelchair seat from the ground? If you’re transferring from the wheelchair to the Kia car seat will the transfer be an uphill transfer? If so a transfer board may not be the solution.

I don’t know the height of the seat of the car from the Ground, however, the height of my power chair from the ground is 19 inches

@@ATLGETREADY4ME it looks like an SUV. Will you be transferring your self or will you have help?

Thanks for your comment @@AllenTax The Zeen has four caster wheels and is meant to be propelled by standing and walking or pedaling with the feet. If the individual needs more assistance with mobility then they would need a standard wheelchair.

Great question, @penniefancies9856! The wrap is waterproof, but the silverware could get messy quickly. Depending on how messy the meal was, the caregiver could wipe it down after each use, but if the wrap needs to be changed out, each roll has 5 yards of wrap. This problem is part and parcel of DIY. Of course, a person could purchase silverware made with built-up, rubberized handles that are dishwasher-safe.

Thank you for engaging with our video! Like all tips and products, they are not meant to be a panacea. Family caregivers and individuals who use walkers deserve to know the options and decide for themselves if it may work for their situation.

Thanks for your support, Syya! 🥰🥰

That sounds so frustrating

@@AECorner In my region , my guess is some ( not speaking about all ) doesn't want to tell the patience , the truth or something else going on , that I don't know about . I had a Xray done and tomorrow I'll be going to doctor to see what it might be. If I don't get the answer. My next step will try and get an MRI and take it to my Orthopedic Specialist. All this will take time , because my Orthopedic doctor is booked out for months at least 6 months . Or maybe I can get in earlier. Wait and See .

@@debbiec6216 Wow, 6 months! Hopefully you will be able to get in sooner 🤞

Our first recommendation would be to get an evaluation from a local physical therapist. Here is a video we made featuring general exercises: ruclips.net/video/BLTrLOemhkQ/видео.html

@@AECorner I went two PT , in 2021 and 2024 and after 10 weeks each , they sent me home. I have a weakness in my right hip and my left hip drops. I will end up going to an Orthopedic doctor and see what needs to be done.

@@debbiec6216 It sounds like you have a lot of orthopedic issues which typically exacerbate hip weakness due to compensation. Seeing an orthopedist is probably your best bet. Keep us posted 🥰🥰

@@AECorner I have to agree with you .

@@AECorner This will take a process and a lot of time . Thank you for all your help.
