Comment faire marcher les patients sans danger après un bloc du membre inférieur ?

After knee and hip surgery, lower limb blocks impair deambulation due to a decrease in quadriceps muscle strength (femoral nerve block) or gluteal, hamstring and leg muscles strength (sciatic nerve block). The risk of fall is close to 1% after hip and knee surgery. The role of continuous femoral block is still debated. The risk of fall must be prevented by a careful evaluation of walking and muscle strength and by a material support combined with the help of health care providers.
