@persia I had to walk up stairs when I got home from the hospital. I used a quad cane. I put the cane on the step and then lifted my good right leg up to that stair and followed with putting the left leg on the step . The next step put the quad cane on the step, then put the foot of your good leg on the step, fill by the tar leg. Hold onto the quad cane for balance. I never used a walker. I am 3 weeks post op. My pt recommended when I start to navigate the 14 stairs from the basement start at the bottom. Go up 4 stairs and then turn around and go down. Continue to add stairs as I progress. We have an outside door to the basement. My husband drives me around to the back and I practice from the bottom of the stairs. My pt didn’t want me to start at the top in case I got dizzy looking down them, she didn’t want me to fall.
FYI, Going down the stairs is harder than going up. I hope thus helps.
