A member asked:
How long does it take for a child to start walking in walking casts after being non weight bearing for 6 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on age, --: As kids do not need therapy generally. They'll start walking or crawling as soon as the fx has healed enough, and its not hurting them.
