What Does NWB Stand For?

NWB stands for NON WEIGHT BEARING

NWB, or Non Weight Bearing, is a medical term used to describe a condition in which a patient is instructed not to place any weight on a specific limb or body part following an injury, surgery, or during recovery. This limitation is crucial for proper healing and rehabilitation, preventing strain or further injury to the affected area. Patients may use assistive devices such as crutches, walkers, or wheelchairs to facilitate mobility while adhering to NWB restrictions.
