In Dr. Schmitt's protocol paperwork, the banned 'Twist' move is further elaborated on to say:
'Avoid reaching across your body' to get something; use 'The Grabber', or 'The Claw' as I like to call it. When you would normally pivot from the waist side to side, say to reach behind you to grab a bottle from the spice rack, instead of 'twisting' your body to reach it, use little baby steps to slowly turn your entire body to squarely face the spice rack head on, and then pick up the bottle.
Also, Schmitt likes '75% weight bearing until otherwise cleared to walk on your full body weight.' Instead of leaning on it & letting the walker (or crutches) bear some of my body's weight, that was the hardest of the rules for me to follow because I wanted to carry my walker in front of me or just push it along while I walked to another room or wherever. Uhm, don't do that. My lower back started killing me,
and I got lectured by my in home OT when she saw me doing that.
Anyway, again Welcome to the other side, and I'm so happy for you both!!
