Hi looking for experience and tips from anyone who has gone through LL with Precise and done full non-weight bearing for the full 3 months in a wheelchair during distraction phase > what was the process and milestones once in the consolidation phase and your path to walking unassisted again?
*Below is an example only but if anyone has a road map of the progression path to normal walking it would be great*
Example; (assume 8cm femurs pls or else quad 8cm femurs + 5cm tibs)
Day 0-90 (LL phase > full non-WB and wheelchair only)
Day 90-150 (consolidation phase;
- start using walker on day 120 (initially walking only a few steps increasing each day over the first 7 days > then walking minutes increasing each day for 7 days> then spending a good amount of time on walker each day
- day 150 move to crutches and walking 10 mins per day for 7 days then 20 mins for 14 days
- day 150 start gym activity (incl legs)
- day 171 start walking without crutches (initially 5 mins, then 10 mins, 20 mins, 1hr by day 200.
- day 250 walking normal
- etc
Would love to hear some real life examples
