![]() Be sure that foot’s placement is close enough to the stair riser and leaves room to place the operated leg’s foot of the stair tread alongside or slightly forward the unoperated leg’s foot already on the stair’s tread.Grasping the handrail in front of the patient with both hands, the unoperated leg is lifted onto the first stair’s tread. The total hip patient faces the handrail with the operated hip extremity the furthest away from the first step and feet relatively close together. Unfortunately, to use this “One Step At A Time Facing Sideward” technique requires a handrail on the correct side of the stairs. I have personally only seen a handful of patients out of the multitude of hip replacement patients I have seen a day or two after surgery. These are elderly, frail, or extremely fearful of falling patients. Some patients are too debilitated to start in the forward-facing position but can ascend and descend stairs facing the handrail and grasping it with both hands. This technique is probably the safest but also the least functional of these three techniques. There are three techniques for a new total hip replacement recipients to ascend and descend stairs: How do I go up and down stairs after a new total hip replacement surgery? That is true for the patient living in a two-story home as well as for patients that have stairs just to get into and out of the home. This skill is very important to teach the hospital-bound patient if there are stairs to be conquered at home. ![]() This criterion is met by working on stairs with the hospital physical therapist. One criterion surgeons use to determine discharge from the hospital is the patient’s ability to ascend and descend stairs. How soon can I go up and down stairs after hip replacement?Ī total hip replacement recipient will go up and down stairs before they are discharged from the hospital. In this article, I’m going to discuss how soon a total hip replacement patient can go up and down the stairs and three techniques that are appropriate for this patient. On the other hand, I have seen a few patients that have had both hips replaced at the same time and are getting up and down the stairs on the first day of my home visit, usually a couple of days after the surgery.
