Top 3 Exercises to Help Straighten Your Arthritic Knee

Looking to improve the mobility of your arthritic knee? Wish you could get your knee straighter?
It is possible to improve the range of motion in your arthritic knee to make activities like walking, stair climbing and sitting easier and more comfortable. The key is working the muscles that are responsible for straightening the knee which are the quadriceps. The hamstrings can also play a role in knee tightness.
Resistance band link: amzn.to/4bXafOC
In this video you'll learn 3 exercises from Dr. Alyssa Kuhn, physical therapist and osteoarthritis specialist to help you get your knee straighter, working on a range of motion called terminal knee extension. Whether you are working after a knee replacement, have mild knee osteoarthritis or have bone on bone knee arthritis- regaining the mobility is possible with consistency.
Kristin demonstrates each of these exercises as she does have difficulty with end range extension and continues to work on it each day. She has also been told she has bone on bone knee osteoarthritis.
None of these movements should increase pain significantly. If they do, modify the range of motion and/or reduce the repetitions.
Learn how to complete banded knee extensions, seated knee extensions and how to use a hamstring isometric exercise to help you knee move better.

@susanshade4665 5 ай бұрын

Hi, my PT is having me do the first exercise you are showing, she said when you lift your heel and hold 5 seconds, your knee should be in alignment witb the opposite knee or slightly futher back, otherwise your not going to feel it in your hamstring When I first tried this my knee was coming forward when I lifted my heel and I didn't feel anything so I moved my knee back when lifting and could feel it in my hamstring, your thoughts please!

Hi, love your exercises and talks. I worked as a rehab assistant my whole life. I get the exercise thing and am pretty faithful. However I have severe R knee osteoarthritis. My problem is I have some varus deformity. I have a brace which I wear only for long walks or working outside. I can not straighten knee while bearing weight, I have excellent rom in flexion and extension when not weight bearing. Any suggestions for increasing the strength for that last little bit of knee straightening? It does affect walking and stability.

Thanks for your tips. My right knee has a slight flexion condition due to arthritis . When I stand it’s not straight and when I walk it doesn’t bend. Stays on bended position. On lock. I don’t want surgery. Scared of it. Is there a way to resolve this issue? My leg and knee looks like this. 🦵 let me know thank you
