Chris Weidman is already back on his feet.
Just three weeks after snapping his leg in half in the opening seconds of his pay-per-view bout with Uriah Hall at UFC 261 on April 24, Weidman shared an update on social media that shows the UFC star walking.
Weidman previously showed he was able to put his foot on the ground on a zero-gravity treadmill and now he is walking with the assistance of crutches.
Considering the severity of his injury, it is miraculous to see his recovery to this point.
Check it out:
Weidman previously wrote, “Big day I am able to get my foot back on the ground and walk on an anti-gravity treadmill. This treadmill offsets my weight and allows me to load my foot and try to walk normally. This is the first step in getting back to loading shin and knee normally. We are trying to restart the conversation between my brain and my foot, increase blood flow, and accelerate healing.
“We continued to incorporate blood flow restriction and Russian stim. This intentionally restricts blood flow in my leg (so painful) while activating the muscles in my lower leg. This tricks my body into thinking I’m doing heavy max weight sets without excessive loading to my healing leg.”
We continue to wish Weidman a full and speedy recovery.
