Agree with RedFlag on caveat pertaining to 'advice at a distance'. Nevertheless, from the studies that I've read, and given that this is a follow-on to an immobilization cast, your doctor has probably suggested this course of action to reduce temporary joint stiffness and muscle weakness associated with prolonged immobilization casting (basis for my conclusion is a study conducted at the Naval Medical Center, San Diego, CA.

This is supportive of your doctor's opinion, but, again, I'm not there ....
