5.9 Non-weight bearing (NWB)

The user moves the walker forward to about an arm's length distance, with the weight of the body is on the unaffected/involved lower limb (i.e., weight bearing lower limb) and the affected lower limb is not touching the ground. Then the user put his/her weight on the walker using the upper limbs and moves the affected/ involved (i.e., NWB lower limb) forward towards the walker and finally moves the weight bearing lower limb towards the walker (to the same level as the NWB lower limb). Then cycle is then repeated.
