Nice! That’s great to hear… this is a common strategy used for stroke patients but I think it’s a great technique for anyone who is hesitant to put weight through one leg while walking and standing.

@@KneeReplacementTherapists Do you have a video or opinion on water therapy or aqua fitness classes for TKR therapy? Thank you.

@@slundgr Here is an old video talking about the benefits of aquatic therapy: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipmnhNuKzM-sYYE.html ... unfortunately no videos actually demonstrating different exercises, but I think aquatic therapy is an awesome option, especially for people who don't tolerate standing weight bearing activities well because of pain.

@@KneeReplacementTherapists Thank you very much. I see my physical therapist Tuesday and will ask them about starting a class on Thursday. I appreciate you sharing this and will check it out.

Hope it helps and thanks for watching!

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles.. It does take time to develop confidence and trust in your surgical leg. A little bit each day and doing your exercises consistently is the key.

Thank you so much for the video. I will try it. 😊

Thank you for your nice words... hopefully with practice, you will see good improvements. Best wishes to you!

Thanks for watching! Hope it helps!

See my reply below

I don’t have a video specifically about this topics. However, the guidelines are similar to going up and down stairs. Go up leading with the good (non surgical) leg and go down leading with the bad (surgical leg) first. The balance and strength and confidence really just comes with confidence. Try practicing using a bottom step of a staircase going up and down. Start with using the railing / arms for support and stability and then take away the support from the arms as you gain confidence. Hope this helps!

Thanks, I'll try that

You may find this exercise helpful, especially if you find yourself taking smaller steps or not bearing weight through your surgical foot as much after surgery.

I usually like to put a 5-10 pound weight on the non surgical leg.

Hi and thank you for watching. Check out some of the videos in this playlist for helpful exercises and strategies: kzfaq.info/sun/PLmjdDYgvJ_hV4_FxIr8L292IgW5AvOL5J

The best way to build stability in the knee, and in turn, improve the ease with walking, is to build strength in your legs. Particularly, your quadricep muscles of your thigh and your gluteal muscles. Exercises such as body weight squats, single leg deadlifts, step ups, step downs, lunges, lateral step ups, side stepping are just some good ones to check out and potentially try. Thanks for the question!

Unfortunately these are all common issues early on after surgery. Stay the course and continue with your phyio and exercises and with time you will see improvements. Best wishes to you!

Thanks for the question... continue to work on range of motion exercises both extension and flexion... quad sets, heel slides, etc. Also, you may have an issue of quadricep / thigh muscle strength. Focus on building strength. And the last thing, just keep walking, practice makes perfect, or at least better.

@@KneeReplacementTherapists Thanks!!
