Are there any physiotherapists on STW?
I've got bilateral tibial plateau fratures (stress fractures) and I'm touch - weight bearing on crutches.
I have just started going to the pool so that I can do some form of exercise but would like to get the most out of it.
Can anyone give me some exercises I should be doing whilst at the pool?
Thanks
Neil
I don't do touch weight bearing. I do full weight bearing, partial weight bearing and non weight bearing. If surgeon said to me that they wanted someone to be touch weightbearing on both legs I'd ask them if they wanted the patient to use a wheelchair or if they could be partial weightbearing. Touch weightbearing on both legs is daft.
On that basis I'd not recommend anything.
