Knee Rehabilitation

Knee replacement surgery is a complex procedure, and physical knee rehabilitation is crucial to a full recovery. In order for you to meet the goals of total knee surgery, you must take ownership of the rehabilitation process and work diligently on your own, as well as with your physical therapist, to achieve optimal clinical and functional results. The knee rehabilitation process following total knee replacement surgery can be quite painful at times.

Physicial therapy will continue once or twice a day. You will be on your way home when you can safely:

get into and out of bed,
walk up to 75 feet with crutches or a walker,
go up and down a flight of stairs, and
get to the bathroom.

It is also important that you have good contraction of the upper thigh muscle, called the quadriceps, and that the range of motion of your knee is improved.
