Total Knee Replacement Exercise

The purpose of any warm-up and/or exercise program is to improve performance and help prevent serious injuries. There is a well-established pattern of increased serious knee injuries (including ACL ruptures) in women compared to men.

The longevity of your knee replacement can be increased by:

AVOIDING stressful activities such as all types of impact sports including:

  • running
  • jogging
  • tennis
  • racquetball
  • badminton
  • football
  • baseball
  • horseback riding
  • other activities

Heavy lifting, weight-lifting, jumping from heights, falls and some exercise machines for the legs are dangerous for you. Never lift or carry more than forty pounds.
