    Just a suggestion: Can you tie a wide, bright, colored ribbon on the leg with the operation? It would make it easier to see and visualize. Keep up the good videos. Thanks.

    My husband just had one hip surgery, but his other leg is very weak as he needs a new hip on that side also. He is wondering how he can get into bed independently with two weak legs. I have to help him even though he uses a leg lifter on his surgical side.

    • @EquipMeOT

      There are several factors that might influence this. The height of the bed relative to his height is one major factor. Making sure the height is easy for manage will help a lot. The other factor will be a rail or bed ladder that might help him use his arms to assist with getting up and down. A good leg lifter will help immensely also!

    How to use these after a bilateral total knee replacement?

    • @EquipMeOT
      @EquipMeOT  Рік тому

      I’ve had patients use 2 to swing both legs at the same time, but it’s not necessary. You can use 1 lifter and use it to move your legs one at a time.

    Can you demonstrate how to use getting into bed?

    I’m a little puzzled - I thought your legs aren’t supposed to cross right after surgery. Hence instructions to keep pillow between knees & ankles to sleep.
