Total Knee Replacement Recovery Time Frame 2023

✔️How long does it take to get back to normal after a total knee replacement? This question and others will be answered in this video. Weeks 1-2: Focus on healing and resting. You will have experienced a significant amount of blood loss during surgery which often results in rapid fatigue with relatively simple tasks. Keep moving during this phase. Stand and walk around your home every 2-4 hours. This is an important time to build confidence in the knee's ability to tolerate loading. Continue to shift weight onto the knee in a straight leg standing position. Week 3-4 as the incision heals and range of motion improves continue to use the knee in normal daily activities such as standing from a chair, walking, and negotiating stairs. Continue to strengthen the hip and ankle which will improve knee strength and range of motion. Continue to perform upper body cardiorespiratory exercises to improve overall health, increase endurance, and counteract the effects of decreased activity. Weeks 5-6 Walking should start to normalize. Range of motion will continue to improve as swelling is reduced. Expect swelling to persist for many more months, however, your best indication of doing too much is when swelling and pain increase. If you are able to walk for 30-minutes without increased pain and swelling within the same 24-hour episode then continue to progress. If pain and swelling increase and your ability to be active is reduced you are likely doing too much or must notify your surgeon. 💚 Recommended Amazon Products 💚: ✔️Best Cold Gel Pack: https://amzn.to/3eM3Ojl ✔️Calf Stretch Wedges: https://amzn.to/2XSuWX0 ✔️Frozen Massage Roller: https://amzn.to/3csN6nw ✔️Seated Pedal Bike: https://amzn.to/3IPTCug ✔️PCP Pedal Exercise Bike: https://amzn.to/2ZOHzVl 📲 Please join our FREE Facebook group:   / totalkneereplacements   About the author: Hi, my name is Anthony (Tony) Maritato, PT.
