Walking with your
Mobi
legs
(non-weight bearing)
If your physician has told you to avoid all weight bearing on
the affected limb, it is important to follow these instructions
carefully. You will need sufficient upper body strength to support
your weight with just your arms and shoulders.
TO WALK WITH MOBILEGS:
1.
Begin in the tripod position—and remember, keep all
of your weight on your “good” (weight-bearing) foot.
2.
Lean forward to create momentum.
3.
Move the “good” weight-bearing foot/leg forward
(beyond the Mobilegs).
4.
Advance both Mobilegs and then the affected foot/leg.
5.
Repeat.
