Knee replacement surgery is becoming more and more common. This surgery can help reduce knee pain from arthritis as well as increase day to day activity. Recovering mobility in the replaced knee is crutial for a good outcome after this surgical procedure. For this reason physical therapy begins one day after the surgery
Regaining knee flexion is an important way to ensure a complete recovery. Gentle movement of the knee is one way to start this rehabilitation program. Eventually the goal should be to regain at least 90 degrees of motion in the replaced knee.
