I am a 79 year old TKR at 10 week post op and these exercises came at the right time for me after finishing my pt. I have a 120+ bend with very little pain. My entire day is consumed with exercises and walking to ensure my TKR is a success. Thank you Samantha for showing us how. We only get out of it what we are prepared to put into it. (Australia)

Wow Dr Samantha. I’m 6 weeks PO and only 92 degrees and -18 degree knee extension . Not too happy with my range of motion at this point. I experience no pain and walk without a cane. Your session provided me more beneficial exercises than my PT has for me to do at home. It’s unfortunate you’re not in So Cal. Keep up the great work.

Hi Sam! I am 5 months PO LTKRevision and on my 14th week PO quad repair. My imbolizer brace came off on Sept 11th with ROM @120° which I can almost reach on my own. I am on a holding pattern with PT waiting to get approved for strengthening. These look totally do-able to begin to strengthen my quad and core. Thanks for all you do!

Thank you So much it’s really starting to help me after three months. I should’ve washed your videos earlier, but thanks again. God bless.

Where were you when I needed you? So pleased to have found you-8wks post TkR; barely 110 bend 5 extension; swollen and have gone through manipulation -it’s the Surgeon that is demanding getting to the bend requirements, PT is trying to comply with their orders…. Insane - I’m inflamed, the knee is traumatized and swollen -

A few of these exercises were part of my PT list beginning at just 2 weeks post op. I was doing the sitting bend and scooting forward from the DAY after surgery!

Getting my right knee replaced November 30th and I can’t wait. Watching your videos 👍

I would like to sincerely thk u f these exercises.. Good job .....greetings from sunny south africa

Hi doc Sam thank you for sharing your videos.

It's beautiful very helpful to me thank you very much doc Sam.

I am 7 weeks post op and have my last PT appointment tomorrow. So glad I found this video. I will start you routine ASAP. I am 82 and had 128 ROM as of last week. 😊 Feel I am doing great but would like to get stronger. Thanks! P. S. I had a hip replaced in March.

I’m 7 weeks postoperative on my 1st knee replacement. I had 2 weeks in-home PT and now have outpatient PT once a week. I have great range of motion, but my muscles need help. I’m going to try these exercises to help my quads & gluts so I can do even better on my 2nd knee replacement next year. I’m hoping these exercises will help with knee pain in my “good knee” & get me better prepared for the next surgery. Thank you.

Great video: You have managed to perform several exercises that I did in my 2 week inpatient therapy with a chair at home...well done..You also touched on some exercises that I performed in my Outpatient Therapy

Great video! I needed more exercises to challenge what I'm doing right now. I'm 8 weeks post surgery. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for this video. I've completed physical therapy. This video will come in handy.

May u have a bless night i have therapy tomorrow hopefully i do better 😊

Thank for sharing these exercises I am 5 mths and still have pain in middle of my knees. Doing all my exercises daily though.

Thank u so much.l will definitely try these exercises

Enjoyed this very much as had limited help here in Cyprus. Looking forward to the 4 week course!

Thank you so much 💕 😊

Thank you very much for this great video. I am 5 months PO from my RTKR. I needed to see this to get me back and motivated to do more exercises at home. Bad me, I became a little bit if a slacker....I should know better since this is my second TKR.... You have me so ready to get back to these exercises more often on a daily routine again.. Thank you.

Thank you for all of your knowledge on these exercises. I am 3 months po. I am having pain/ discomfort in the band, middle of calf to ankle when doing the bending of the knee. I do ice several times a day and walking and other exercises a few times a day. When will the pain in calf go away?

Ppp good exercise thank u so Mach

I’m 8 weeks in. My front of surgery knee extremely tight. I still do PT twice a week and do exercises at home.

So great. Thank you!

Very informative 👏

I have pain on the outside of the knee of the operated knee with tightness. Also driving is quite painful but is relieved by stopping and standing and walking for a minute or so. How can I help myself. 9 weeks post op

So two weeks post TKR is too soon? Makes me feel better. Bookmarking.

I am almost at 2 weeks post,I have terrible pain starting in hip running down outside of leg to ankle,is this normal

Hi Dr Samantha! I have a question/problem. I had surgery to replace the plastic insert on 11/9/23. My insurance doesn’t cover a physical therapist in my area.. I’d have to drive 2 hours away. Since the surgery, I can’t extend my lower leg. It’s like the signal is not getting through. I could lift my straight leg and extend it while the nerve block was still effective, but as it wore off, it got increasingly difficult and painful.. within about 20 hours, I can’t move it at all. It is very painful on the inside front of my knee… it burns if I try to engage it. What can I do?! I’m really scared! I’m a very active person. It also hurts/burns to bend it. Please help!! I’m desperate. Thank you! God bless.

It's one year after my tkr and my knee is not fully bending would doing the exercises help with the bending i still have some swelling and. a little pain in the knee ? 12.00 noon

Can my knee, operated 8 years back, exercised so that it can bend at least 90°.?( now it can bend only 50°

Thanks for these exercises I'm 3 months but very stiff and heavy

I'm 3 months out tkr, I can't walk on my tip toes, and my leg , knee is still not straight

I can't get my left knee off the ground while seated, leg raises . I keep feeling like my knees are locked

😮

Thank for sharing these exercises I am 5 mths and still have pain in middle of my knees. Doing all my exercises daily though.
