Start with short walks and gradually increase the distance as tolerated. It is important to consult with your doctor for personalized recommendations based on your specific condition and recovery progress.

Recommendations are that you walk two to three times a day for about 20-30 minutes each time. You should get up and walk around the house every 1-2 hours. Eventually you will be able to walk and stand for more than 10 minutes without putting weight on your walker or crutches.
