Exercise during distraction
« on: February 12, 2021, 03:59:40 PM »
I’m interested in doing STRYDE and I’m wondering when I can start doing simple exercises again. Nothing crazy but stuff like hip raises, frog raises, leg lifts, donkey kicks, etc. I’ve heard people get flat glutes during surgery and I want to prevent that so ideally in addition to PT I’ll do laying down glute workouts and start walking at least a few minutes a day once the doctor approves to keep myself in shape. I’ll probably get some light dumbells and resistance/stretch bands aswell.

Do you think this is adequate in order to keep my glutes and possible to do without causing any damage? I put an example of the workout I’d do below

Most of these exercises are actually the ones you'll be doing during PT. Glute/hip stretches and strength training is a core part of recovering normal walking gait. It's going to be very difficult to prevent flat glutes if you do femurs, but you should be able to recover them quickly after finishing lengthening.

How long after the surgery will I be able to do the exercises on my own with light weight (10lbs max) and/or resistance band? I wanna do them twice a day with my stretches ideally, maybe walk on treadmill. As soon as possible, I don’t care much about the pain

The Limb Lengthening journey is different for everyone. I would say 6/8 weeks after surgery you should be fine in doing those exercises and more.

Would starting any earlier cause complications or anything like that? Thanks for answering my question :)

It is a losing battle to try to retain your glutes during LL. It has already been lost. Don't worry about it, you'll gain it back after regular life resumes. Flat äss is not permanent.
