My mother fell and shattered the top of her femur. Surgery was done and she received a rod down her femur that was screwed to her present hip joint. We have discovered that the walker she was using for four months had been set two inches too high causing her to swing her injured hip out to her side. Now that the walker has been repositioned, will Mom be able to assume a more normal gait. My mother is 93. This unusual gait has caused her to be very tired and off balance. Thank you for your response.
