Thank you so much. Not quite 3 weeks post op and determined to get the best out of the replacement.
I am taking painkillers about an hour before and managing all of these excersises. I'm 53 years old
I am doing most of those exercises and I am just about 3 weeks post op the trick is take pain medication 1 hr before exercise and kee p practicing all day long don’t sit long and ice in between. Good luck this is my second and it’s going much better than the first
I couldn't even walk or put weight till about four weeks nevermind try to bend it swollen to almost twice the size of my good knee
They should share video of the people who has really knee replacement
So true
Exactly Ive done it is not easy like they are showing in this videos
It'd look more realistic if she were grimacing in pain while doing these exercises.
Bill Fish Nothing like a laugh --a big laugh --at the awful truth.(Cursing also helps).
Agreed. I wish they would use real patients and not actors, this doesn’t help.

This seems like a great plan to follow, I am all in!!
one of the best videos on TKR exercises...thanks...
Had my left tkr one month ago. Thanks for these very good exercises.
Thank you for your videos. I had arthroscopic surgery on the Minicus ad knee cap left knee on Dec 1st. I had shoulder surgery in the summer so my PT allotment has run out till Jan 2017. I am doing so well with your videos and do them daily. I appreciate the deferential videos so I've known exactly what to do in each week of recovery till I can get PT.
You just d what you can, these are good exercises for knees.

Thank you for video. I appreciate the real actual time counting I can imitate/ copy and watch while doing.
They probably made a mistake]
This is three MONTHS after, not three weeks!
this is very fruitful to all
Thank you so much for your valuable guidance. So helpful.
Thank you 🙏🙏
sorry but it's really easy for ppl who don't have surgery to bend like that....Ppl With sever scar tissue build up can't bend
Wanda Herenadez
I agree with yiu wanda. I have had a knee reconstruction then later 17 years later a knee replacement. Im better but reluctant in trying to bend both kneesina kneeling position
Amen to that
Sure, this model can move her knee every which way. She's just showing you the exercise to get you to where you need to be. You only need to do the best you can with each one.
I’ve had both knees replaced and can easily do these exercises. I started the towel exercise in the hospital
Wanda Herenadez so good i so much use all
good job
lm a physio too
If a patient does it, won't be effective, how can we learn than ?
TQ so much
so that one can see how to do excercise with help or without help
That towel assisted heel slide you began with was a big turn off because the person is clearly not re overnight from a TKR!!!!
I cannot bend my knee and it's been 3 weeks now and it hurts
do we do these once a day, twice a day or what? I am 3 weeks from surgery and my insurance hasn't approved my outpatient PT yet :(
I have no feeling more päinful im 13 years old but i hve knee problm with tackle i need you to give advise i tired to do exercise and when i feel well i play fotboll and reflex again my knee all the time no more abuilt it is not balance so may i take surgery 🤷🏻♂️🙏🏼😥❤️❤️
I recommend that all exercises be performed by a TKR patient
Harry TC Absolutely. I’m 4 weeks post op and can’t do these like this model. That makes me feel like a failure. Get patients to demonstrate them at week 4,5,6 etc for realistic goals
Harry TC, I so agree with you! Let's see these exercises being done by actual TKR patients. I'm 6 weeks along and can only do a fraction of this.
I don’t think is true 3weeks ago I had a apportion still ive got pain I cannot do it
Who has this kind of movement after three weeks? Thanks for the unrealistic goal.
I do.... But be realistic it depends how active the patient was before...
3x a day.... Try it
It would help if the exercise addressed what knee had the surgery. Most are obvious, but in these specific exercises, especially the later ones, it would be good to know what knee was being exercised. Otherwise, this is a great, informative video for me, as I undergo the first of two TKR surgeries soon. I'm very concerned about post surgery pain and pain associated with PT. Anyone out there have tips for me to have maximum results with as little of pain as possible.... it sure would be appreciated... thanks
Great
Can we do exercise while strichies
its what i do in P.T three times a week.
+Tommy Banner
Good to hear that your PT is following the recommended regime
Good exerise
Nice
So, the young lady in the video actually had a total knee replacement 3 weeks prior??
It would help a lot if some one would talk Shy ????
CAN'T , TO PAINFUL
No way after 4 weeks, i can barely get it to the middle point
Agree. Really wish they'd perform these exercises on real TKR patients.
@@jabah126 I am three weeks since the operation and the pain especially during the night time ,it is too much .
how much time would you advise someone spend on a exercise bike each day? @ 11 week post op.
+ginger b
I would imagine that as long as we are discussing a total knee replacement, and that you are on schedule, 2 sessions of 20-30 minutes a day would work well. Start sensibly and build up.
thanks
heheh thanx for the joke
This is a load of rubbish shown by a person with no knee problem
It's just impossible to get these sorts of movements within 3 weeks of a knee replacement
I know I had my left knee done 3 years ago and my right knee done 3 weeks ago
And I'm in so much pain just moving my leg slightly
Maxwell Hill hi I had big problems with my pain meds not doing much..then lack of sleep, now an infection in wound
But. All still going ok ,I have a good range of movement and just a little pain and swelling and now at 7 weeks post op.i would imagine another 4 weeks I will be over most of it
But yes it's a very very painful recovery from a total knee replacement
Thanks. Dave
Hi David: I know it's painful and hard. I had double knee replacement and a couple of problems after that gave me some challenges. It's been 3 years. I just kept moving - even when I didn't feel like it. It was hard to get a good nights sleep. But little by little you'll notice small improvements. Those are what you take to heart. The little things add up to bigger ones. Some days you won't feel good. That's when maybe you ice a little more or take it a little easier on yourself. Other days you'll be ready for adding to your routine. I always have ups and downs and sometimes get bummed out with a reduced range of motion. But I still break out the stretch strap and work on it. That's the only way to make gains - keep working on it. I want to improve so I work as hard as I can and I feel like the more I move the better I feel. I have a desk job and mostly it's harder to sit there all day because I get more uncomfortable than if I move so I try to take frequent stretch breaks. I hope you feel better soon - but just try to focus on the gains you make instead of what you're not doing. Those other things will happen if you work at it. Best Regards, Lisa
Lisa Matarazzo thanks Lisa for a very nice reply I agree with you completely one day feeling better, the next day not so good .my problem is. I didn't suffer this much with my previous knee replacement.
But I'm getting there .but has you know it's hard painful work.im doing all different types of exercises now including swimming laps in the pool.
I feel sorry for you having both knees done at the same time .there was a guy did the same thing while I was in hospital.it was horrendous, watching him trying to get through it.the surgeons should ban double knee replacements.
Well it's 4 months since mine.but still a long way to go, before I will be happy with my knee thank you
Dave
It was definitely the worst pain I've ever been in - definitely! But I also know I wouldn't have gone back for the second so for me getting them both done at the same time was the only option because I had been bone on bone in both knees for way too long and was starting to fall a lot because my knees would get jammed up from broken off bone spurs floating under my knee cap. 4 months is still early in your recovery. I'm right handed, so stronger on that side. I think that makes a difference on the recovery for each knee. Good Luck David!
Not true with adequate physical therapy you can get these results. After my first visit, I was no longer using a walker. It is 8 weeks out and I am back at the gym, still exercising that leg and keeping up with physical therapy of which they kicked me out cause I was doing everything. You do need the pain meds for initial therapy, but now just exercise everday. Not extensive but little by little. I do knee raises walking around my kitchen. I bought a stretch belt to stretch the leg front and back. I also have what looks like a rolling pin to massage the stiff pain in that area. The trick is not to be idle and massage and work the knee daily. I still have one more knee to do in 2 months but now i.know what to expect. Wasn't as bad as I thought. There is pain in the beginning but good physical therapy can help. Exercise exercise exercise. Also they first put me on a standstill bike. That helped loosen me up tremendously. Works the knees
Hope this helps.
