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 โฌ๏ธ
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 โฌ๏ธ
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.
