Bill, June 20: changing the dance from a waltz to the two-step

Bill did a TON of walking today.  From the apartment, down the hall, standing in the elevator, out to the car. From the car, to the elevator, into the clinic and PT room ...  Actually, let's just say the only wheelchair time he had was the trip through Whole Foods!

One of his PT activities was the balance-feedback stand. He learned to weight shift by doing a "hip-check" (yes, like in ice hockey) instead of leaning his shoulders over.

Getting back to this post's headline, and the reference to dance.  His walking routine has been a three-step: cane forward, step left, step right. That's a waltz rhythm. Now he is challenged to make it a two-step: cane-and-left-step-at-the-same-time, step right. Once again, this video doesn't show up on my iPad, so switch to your PC for a really good show. He got really smooth later in the morning, trust me!
