What about cleaning it?. It's been mentioned for silver wear, but it seems like it could get moldy quickly.
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.
If you do this, you've just made your walker unstable and prone to tipping over.
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.
Great information ladies!
Thanks for your support, Syya! 🥰🥰
Yes! Thank you ladies! I've been a CNA for a long time and I'm the most proud when people are able to get therapy and live well with their independence intact.
Thanks for all you do for your residents. We ❤️ CNAs!
I have sm pain and my partner sees it and says I should try a cane but my drs say I’m fine cos I’m young, is it worth putting the money into buying a cane and trying it out or should I just do as my drs say and suck it up and take more pain meds
Here’s a link to a national medical equipment lending closet directory: seniorsmobility.org/free-medical-equipment/near-me-national-programs Tap on your state and see if you have a lending closet near you. Lending closet loan gently used medical equipment for low or no cost, that way you can try it see if it will work for you. If it doesn’t then you can give it back without having to purchase one. Hope this helps 🥰🥰 AECorner.com
good info tfs
So glad you found it helpful 🥰🥰
Great Video
Thanks for the visit 🥰🥰
I took my dear MIL for a trip. We went to the Outer Banks and stayed a couple of nights at a little motel. Very cute place, down by the ocean, etc. The bed was so high that I secured a chair from the room next to the bed. She had to climb up on the chair and turn around to sit on the bed. This would have helped a great deal. After she was ready for bed, she got in bed, and I turned the chair, so it prevented her from rolling off. To be honest, I had trouble getting into that bed. We giggled like little girls that night.
They make a smaller, more portable version, too! amzn.to/4eNldYK
What material did you use for it?

Great body... Also, thanks for the tips. Will be buying a walking stick today 👍
Great! Let us know what you think.
already did clam and many others . I did all the beginners .
👍
I went to 2 different PT in 2021 and 2024, both end up giving me the same ole exercises ( for beginners ) and that it was it. never CORRECTED This Waddle Gait.
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 🤞
My Mother has this, I thought it's because of old age and heavy weight.. Is there any cure for this? Waiting for your reply impatiently
Our first recommendation would be to get an evaluation from a local physical therapist. Here is a video we made featuring general exercises: ua-cam.com/video/BLTrLOemhkQ/v-deo.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.
Do you see a lot of people on crutches?
🩼
@@AECorner What happened to wooden crutches?
@@wadehamlin 🤷
It's very important if it's an infection in your urinary system which can really hurt you in old age. I find they always ask.
Thanks for sharing your experience, @abou8963 🥰🥰
If you have a family member who is capable of understanding your meds and being an advocate that’s also a good idea because I had a situation when I was in the rehab hospital where they wanted to cath me yet Not discontinue my Detrol. My daughter who knew my meds helped a lot with that situation
Wow! You were fortunate to have an advocate with you!
What is that 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤ so ummmmm. Bye
Their mobility devices for people who have difficulty walking. Thanks for engaging with our video. It helps get our content in front of more people.
I think this might be a real life saver! Thank you for showing this!
Agreed! It would definitely help lots of caregivers reposition their loved ones or clients and decrease back injury 🥰🥰
Why diagnose it without advising what can be done to help it?
Thanks for your question, RoseMarieFlor. As we’re sure you can appreciate everyone is different and without being physically present we can only speak in broad generalities. We’re encouraging people to be evaluated by a local physical therapist who will be able to write a plan of care tailored to help meet people’s specific needs. Check out this video that accompanies the video you commented on: Overcome Weakness: Trendeleburg Gait Exercises: ua-cam.com/video/BLTrLOemhkQ/v-deo.html Have a great rest of your week. 🥰🥰
Isn't there a trendelenburg position?
Yes, there is! So smart! It’s a position one would put a patient in while lying in a hospital bed. 🥰🥰
But if your weak leg buckles aren't you going to go flying? For example a structure on top of 2 support beams, the one beam buckles and gives way so it topples that way, so the support should be the same side as the weak support beam side acting as a security beam? 🤔
We love that you’re thinking this through however, if a person’s weak leg is so weak that it buckles then a cane might be for them. The person may need more support from devices like crutches or a walker.
@@AECorner I see thank you much appreciated 🙏 🙂
@@Rachie-nj3oi We’re happy to help 🥰🥰
As always, great information ❤!
Thanks, Diane 🥰🥰

Thanks. I was able to get up to my bedroom after surgery but then realized that I was going to have to go back down, It was one of those moments where I thought "Is this a good idea?". Your video helped.

Thanks for joining us!! 🥰🥰
Beautiful aesthetics!
Aww... Thank you for your kind words, GaryandAdriel! It's one of the nicest comments we've received on this video. 🥰🥰
Why not add a rubber layer inside the handle loop to bypass having to use the tape?
That's a great idea, RiverRoxMusic! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll let the Makers program that printed it for me know. All I had was the self-adhesive tape. It's always my go-to product; not unlike duct tape 🤣
❤❤❤❤
Thanks, Dolly 🥰🥰

Why does everyone have to keep making shit easier just turn the doorknob
Hi Byron, While turning a doorknob might seem like a simple task, it can be incredibly painful or even impossible for people with weak grips, arthritis, or other hand limitations. These 3D-printed levers offer an assistive technology solution that allows them more independence in their daily lives. Thank you for sparking a conversation about accessibility. Your engagement with our video helps raise awareness of helpful resources like ours.
Love it! So much easier to use this than trying to uninstall a knob handle and reinstalling a lever one.
And cheaper! Thanks for your support, Diane! 🥰🥰
my butt is getting numb from sitting all day, I get up during the day but nothing is helping any ideas what I can do, thank you
We recommend telling your primary care physician. It sounds like it something they need to know. 🥰🥰
knob's upside down...
You know I thought that, too Esteban. Check out the photos of it on Thingiverse.com
Thanks for engaging with our video, though.
Is this a joke lol
No, Andrew it’s a 3D printed door knob lever. It helps people who may have a weak, painful grip or decreased hand or wrist dexterity open doors in their homes. Thanks for engaging with our content
Just buy a lever doorknob? This is hideous.

So far my doctors after doing xray video blood tests and anxiety medication say nothings wrong with me but I just can’t swallow they keep saying nothings wrong I’m fine but I just literally can’t get past it no matter how much they tell me I’m fine gonna get one more test done then I have a appointment with a dietitian this stuff sucks
So sorry to hear you’re having difficulties getting a diagnosis. But, glad to hear you’re not giving up. That has to be so frustrating. Has anyone mentioned Globus Sensation or Globus Pharyngis? If not it might be worth a Google search.
@@AECorner my symptoms are similar but not exactly the same it’s almost like I’m trying to swallow my tongue and all of literally everything in my mouth but sometimes it feels like i physically literally can’t swallow no matter how hard i try then sometimes it’s like im trying to swallow a big bite of food or it’s completely normal
@@sethmewes161 So it's not about feeling a lump stuck in your throat; it's about being unable to trigger your swallow? Would you consider being evaluated by a neurologist? Would your primary care doc make that referral?
@@AECorner so far the only thing I’ve been recommended to was therapy and dietitians
@@sethmewes161 hopefully, they can recommend foods that will help you maintain your caloric intake and nutrition. Asking your primary care doctor for a referral to a neurologist might not be a bad idea; at least rule out any neurological involvement.
I USE TO CAREGIVE
It’s a tough job, Jazmyne. Thanks for all the care you provided. I’m sure it made all the difference in the world to your care recipient 🥰🥰
THANK YOUUUU I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO ADJUST THESE FOR THE LONGESTTTTT!😂❤
