What to Expect When You Visit Our Physiotherapist for Lower Limb Fractures

When you visit us after a lower limb fracture, we assess your walking, strength, balance, joint movement, and confidence. Treatment includes progressive weight-bearing as appropriate, strengthening, balance retraining, and gait re-education to help you return to safe and independent mobility.

Factors Influencing Recovery Speed

↑

Safe Weight-Bearing Progression

• Gradual loading helps restore walking confidence. • Progress should match healing stage and medical guidance.

Strength + Balance Training

• Stronger legs and better balance reduce falls risk. • Consistent exercise supports independent mobility.

↓

Prolonged Immobility

• Too much rest can reduce strength and confidence. • Low activity levels often make walking recovery slower.

Fear of Weight-Bearing

• Avoiding load for too long may delay normal gait. • Poor balance can keep daily movement feeling unsafe.

What does the Evidence say?
Rehabilitation after lower limb fractures improves walking ability, strength, and independence, particularly in older adults. References Handoll, H. H., Sherrington, C., & Mak, J. C. (2011).

How do we estimate outcomes?

We combine insights from published research, our own experience and that of our peers, along with typical treatment timelines and conservative modelling assumptions, to map out common trajectories. The ranges presented reflect our experience only.
