You can keep your weight-bearing restrictions while walking by using a walker to help with stability and support. You might experience leg weakness after an illness or injury that necessitates a lengthy period of bed rest and recovery. After a period of bed rest, your equilibrium may also be impacted.
Be careful not to slouch or lean forward. Look forward rather than down when using a walker. Three to four feet in advance of your rolling walker, locate the floor. When both feet are on the ground, you should only move your walker. During use, keep the walker no further than 12 inches in front of the client.
