Thanks Liam2015. ROM is impressive. I know it is so hard to gain that back, as well as at home exercises.
Wall squats are super impressive. My wife is still nervous about putting significant weight on her TPF leg.
We will look into poles. We did have a great PT workout with parallel bars on wed. However, we had a set back yesterday. My wife was trying to clean a counter in wheel chair and it flipped forward and she hyper flexed her surgical leg (planted on floor) - with weight of entire wheel chair on her leg. We spent today in ER, with lots of swelling and pain medially (TPF on lateral side). Xrays came back negative, and her surgeon (who happens to be at same hospital) reviewed films and found no problems with TPF. They didn't think there was ligament damage, but wanted to wait on MRI. Our concern is meniscus. Surgeon PA met us in ER and thought we performed a default manipulation, and pops we heard during injury may have been scar tissue - since her ROM is slow going. She is a special case as she has a brittle bone disease diagnosis, and surgeon wants to go slow on PT. She has had over 20 bone fractures, so we are always extra cautious. We are icing, elevating, taking Advil....and will see. So we have cancelled PT for rest of week and hope to get back on track next week.
Hope you continue to progress.
