Common Challenges
Bearing weight on a recovering limb can be daunting, especially early on. Pain, weakness, and instability can make it difficult to determine the appropriate amount of pressure to apply. There is a fear of re-injury or hindering the healing process, leading to hesitancy and prolonged immobility.
Innovative Solutions
Start gradually with light activities such as assisted walking or partial weight-bearing exercises. Gradually increase the load and duration as pain and strength allow. Use assistive devices like crutches or a cane for support. Consider consulting a physical therapist for a personalized rehabilitation program tailored to your specific condition. Monitor pain levels and adjust activities accordingly.
