Knee Replacement Physiotherapy at Home
Understanding Knee Replacement
A knee replacement also known as total knee arthroplasty, can be described as an orthopaedic procedure that involves the damaged components that make up the joint of the knee are substituted by artificial parts. It’s usually recommended for patients suffering from severe osteoarthritis, joint degeneration or injuries that lead to persistent pain and mobility problems. While surgery can restore joint structure, complete recovery is dependent on skilled rehabilitation. The physiotherapy following knee replacement is crucial for restoring strength, flexibility and balance as well as confidence. A knee rehab at home can help to ensure a secure recuperation, lessen stiffness and enhance long-term functionality while in the privacy of your home.
Common Challenges After Knee Replacement
Pain During Movement
Many people feel uncomfortable when exercising or walking, particularly in the beginning of the week.
Limited Range of Motion
In the absence of proper rehabilitation, a reduced flexibility could affect the daily routine, such as standing, climbing steps or walking.
Muscle Weakness
The knee muscles (especially quadriceps as well as hamstrings) tend to weaken following surgery, and require targeted strength.
Balance and Gait Issues
Many patients have trouble with weak balance, limping as well as fearing falling in the healing process.
