  1. KNEE REPLACEMENT STRATEGIES AND PATIENT DISCLOSURE

  2. Knee surgery might just be the most crucial time for your body movement. Physiotherapy in Delhi has shown proven results in aiding in swift recovery. Following knee surgery such as a knee replacement, knee arthroscopy, or reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament, here is some rehabilitation strategies and patient disclosure that will help you get back on your feet more quickly and with less discomfort. Let us talk about strategies first.

  3. TOP 10 STRATEGIES • PREPARE In the days immediately following surgery, you should plan on having difficulty moving around freely. Prepare your home for your return from surgery, and talk to a physiotherapist in Vasant Kunjabout getting instruction on how to use the stairs safely, how to take a shower while keeping the surgical site on your leg dry, and how to make a list of the post-operative equipment you’ll need before you get there. • STAY ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE DISCOMFORT. Your doctor will likely prescribe a narcotic pain medicine for you, in addition to an anti-inflammatory prescription. During the first few days after your knee surgery, making sure to take your meds exactly as directed will help you avoid experiencing any unexpected pain. Use icepacks to minimise pain and swelling. keep them handy.

  4. EXERCISES FOR THE CALF In order to stretch and strengthen your calf muscles, you should move your foot up and down. The rationale for this is to keep the blood circulating in your legs, which will ultimately reduce the likelihood of a blood clot forming in your body which is also called DVT (deep vain thrombosis). • QUADRICEPS EXERCISES It is essential to perform thigh exercises (i.e. While sitting/ lying on the bed with legs flat in front of you, press your knees down into the bed using your thigh muscles). Contraction should be performed one by one or concurrently on both thighs. Because of cross-innervations of the quadriceps muscle by the femoral nerve, exercising the opposite leg can increase performance on the leg that will be used for the operation. Consult with your physiotherapist in Vasant Kunj before performing exercises.

  5. KEEP YOUR LEG UP Put some cushions or a wedge beneath the bottom of your heel (not underneath your knee). This makes it possible for you to raise your leg higher than your heart, which in turn helps reduce swelling and keeps your knee in a straight position.
