Going downstairs after tibia lengthening

Edit Post

For those that have done tibia lengthening, did you have any problems going downstairs?

Is it the flexibility of the foot? Or what is the biggest thing that you think is preventing you from going downstairs normally?

I see I see, ok thanks Rei.

FormerKidd: how much did you lengthen? And are you able to go downstairs regularly at all? Or you have to go backwards.

Great discussion, thanks a lot everyone. I can see why going downstairs is one of the last hurdles for tibia lengthening.

For those that had done tibia first and then femur (if anyone here), after conquering going downstairs w/ tibia lengthening, was it easier/harder to do after femur lengthening? Or does lengthening the femur have no / less impact on going downstairs.
