Doctors told DailyMail.com that Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore will not be able to walk on their own when they return to Earth this month .

They will be immediately placed on stretches and immediately taken for medical evaluations.

The astronauts could need up to six weeks of rehabilitation to regain their strength, which will include guided exercise and a nutritional plan.

Williams and Wilmore were only supposed to spend eight days on the International Space Station when they blasted off on June 5 .

Dr. Jaquish said they could still recover their pre-flight bone density if they use osteogenic loading.

Osteogenic loading involves exercises that strengthen bones by putting stress on them.

In order to stimulate bone growth, the astronauts' bones will have to bear a load 4.2 times their body weight.
