Post Knee Replacement Rehab

Monday September 21, 2009

Knee replacement surgery is an effective treatment for severe knee arthritis. During the procedure, an artificial knee made of metal and plastic is inserted into the knee joint.

After knee replacement surgery, it is important to perform therapy to resume normal activities. The goal of the procedure is to restore pain-free motion and to allow patients to resume their daily activities. Understanding the rehab from knee replacement surgery will aid in your recovery from this procedure.
