A member asked:
I'm having a patella dislocation. it's been two weeks now and in pain. when can i start my therapy sessions as i'm not able to walk at all?

Let me explain: After dislocated patella, usually we apply brace on the leg to let the soft tissue injury heal, the leg have to be straight in the brace. Usually we allow partial to full weight bearing as tolerated. You could your pt in the brace and continue on . Good luck.
