I feel like I have turned a corner, though I am still wearing the boot 24/7, I am getting more and more functional in the boot. I can now walk without crutches, though the awkwardness of the boot still doesn’t allow for a very comfortable walk. I am enjoying getting back to more challenging exercises….Read More

Crutch Training
This post is for those who aren’t quite sure how to use crutches and/or how to progress to weightbearing after a period of non-weight-bearing. I made a series of videos to describe the progression.
