| Coffee and Conversation in Pilch Hall Who, Me? A Cane? When is it time for a cane or walker and how do you feel about it? Rachel Feinberg, Doctor of Physical Therapy, is back to talk about…dun dun dun…the dreaded assistive device! Join us for an engaging and practical conversation about when a cane or walker might actually be helpful, how to know which device is right for you, and how to use it properly. We will also tackle the emotional side of the equation: resistance, frustration, embarrassment, and the fear that a cane or walker somehow announces “I am now old!” Using an assistive device is not a sign of weakness. In fact, the right device can be a smart tool for staying safe and maintaining independence. Come with questions, bring your skepticism, and maybe even a few stories in support of device usage! Remember, the cane is not the problem…falling is. | Monday, November 30 at 10 AM |
