Up with the Good, Down with Bad.

It sounds like you are a physiotherapist. If you are, we are on the same page.

This rule is very helpful for those with leg problems, whether due to surgery, conditions like arthritis or osteoarthritis, or injuries like sprains and fractures. Key to remember: Going up: Lead with the good leg for strength and support. Going down: Lead with the bad leg to avoid overburdening it. It’s a simple but effective way to ensure safety and reduce strain on the affected leg.

Yes, I am sure it helps you to cope.

Yep - that's exactly what I have been having to do . I've been strength training my legs for my knee - it's gotten a little better, but I still have to be careful. And be sure to make use of that handrail!

Whatever that is I have my own technique

I think I've heard this in the dim, dark past but it's good to be reminded of it.

That's very helpful information. Thank you. I am currently wearing a foot air cast boot for tendonitis in my right foot.
