When walking with one crutch, hold the crutch on the side of the non-affected leg. Its common to want to use the crutch on the injured side, but this doesn't tend to be as supportive. When walking swing the crutch through as you step with the affected side. The crutch and your foot should hit the floor at the same time. Then step level with the good leg. You can progress by stepping forwards with the good side rather than level. Go to www.rehabmypatient.com for more information.
