Best Tip To Improve [Knee Extension] After A Total Knee Replacement - Prone Hangs - PT at home 2020
Improving knee extension - how to straighten you knee - after a total knee replacement is always challenging. For most people, getting full extension is the first priority, even more than flexion. Swelling, pain, and other factors may contribute to limited range of motion in both extension and flexion. This simple strategy involves positioning yourself in prone (on your stomach) while the foot hangs off the side of your bed. There are several ways to achieve this position.
In this video I show you how to do it with and without compression, with and without a pillow under the thigh, and I discuss how long I would spend in this position.
Normal walking request full knee extension. If you have limited knee extension you may also be more likely to experience hip and low back pain because that leg will effectively be shorter than the non-surgical leg. In most cases your body will adapt, but there may be some frustration in the short term while you experience altered movement patterns and possibly pain.
