493872 2006-10-27 00:29:00 Hi Timbo. Still intrigued about your original post. Posture? Nearly fifty years since I used hospital crutches - shoulders hunched up - neck scrunched up - bounding along with one leg taking three metres strides - having them fall away from me when I sat down - occasionally snagging them on a chair leg or some peasant's leg - I couldn't wait to rid myself of the damn things. :confused:
Uum, I find they push my arm/ shoulder blade up and sets them back down behind my chest... (hunch no more)

Also when I swing forward on one leg; my free floating pelvis gets reset in againts my spine aswell. (but thats just me; I have soliosis(bad rotations in my spine))

I'll try giving the hospital a call... The nurse made apoint for me to return them; "as they cost $40 to replace". Thats better than $60 on the site you gave me Graham:)
