Going up and down stairs with a walker after surgery can seem daunting. We've put together a simple how-to that you can use to help manage the stairs safely.

Going Up ⬆️
1. Place your walker sideways with the opening towards you. Firmly grasp the stair rail with one hand and your walker with the other.
2. The walker's legs should be against the stair riser with all 4 legs in contact with the stairs. Step up with the non-surgical leg and follow with the surgical leg until both are on the same step

Going Down ⬇️
Repeat Step 1 of walking upstairs, then step down with the surgical leg and follow with the non-surgical leg.

It's important not to attempt stairs until released by your surgeon. If you need pre or post-surgical care, we're here to help.

One of the most common mechanisms of injury from falls is called a FOOSH (Fall on an Out Stretched Hand) injury. Don’t let the funny name fool you. A injury is one of the most debilitating ways to injure your upper extremity. If you have a FOOSH that results in a strain, sprain, or fracture, we can help you reduce pain, increase strength, and regain function. https://ptandme.com/foosh-silly-name-serious-injury/

A FOOSH (Fall on Out Stretched Hand) occurs when a person falls and tries to brace for impact using their hands. Physical therapy can help reduce pain, increase strength and regain function.
