Kate Gosselin Cleared to Start Walking 82 Days After ‘Life-Altering’ Leg Injury

Her doctor authorized a gradual return to weight-bearing, which she is documenting on TikTok.

Overview

  • In a Dec. 20 TikTok video, the 50-year-old showed her first steps at a clinic using crutches and a handrail.
  • The plan calls for staged weight-bearing at 25 percent, then 50 percent, 75 percent and 100 percent.
  • She was injured in September when her dog ran into her, causing a tibial plateau fracture.
  • She underwent surgery with plates and pins, and her surgeon described the injury as life-altering.
  • Gosselin said she will continue sharing progress updates as she rebuilds strength through physical therapy.
