Knee replacement, rehabilitation exercises, improvement Hello friends, with this video we conclude the series on rehabilitation after knee replacement surgery. In this video, we will cover the exercises for the final phase, targeting exercises starting on day 45 after surgery, 45 to 90 days. At this point, your knee flexion should be around 110 degrees. Once you reach this level, we can consider the knee replacement surgery a true success, as this range will allow you to live a normal life. The following exercise will allow you to work on both the final degrees of flexion and full extension; you will only need a ball. Place the ball on the table and your foot on the ball. Bend your knee, rolling the ball toward your glutes, reaching until you feel the limitation. At that point, count to five before straightening your knee. The extension is similar. We stretch our leg, leaving only the heel resting on the ball, applying posterior pressure with our knee, as shown by the arrow on the screen. We perform 3 sets of 20 movements each. If you still have trouble with the extension, we can place a weight on the knee while leaving the leg extended, holding it as long as we can to achieve the final degrees of extension. If we want to take knee extension to the next level, I recommend the following. We need a towel, several belts, or a strap. Sitting on the edge of a table, we wrap our foot just below the toes. The exercise consists of extending our leg as far as possible without using the strap, supporting the movement with our arms only in the final degrees, those that our knee is unable to perform on its own. The second part is dedicated to muscle development. By now, our quadriceps will be strong, and our knee will be able to support our weight when we walk. For those seeking excellence, we propose the following two exercises that combine muscular and proprioceptive work to take your knee to its maximum capabilities. For the first, you'll need a large Pilates ball or fit ball, which we used in the second phase. Place the ball against a wall and your back against the ball. Your support should be on your back; the ball should never extend past your shoulders. Move your feet slightly forward so that you're slightly lying on the ball. From this position, bend your knees, squatting down as the ball rolls down the wall. Ideally, perform the exercise near a piece of furniture or with a rental nearby, especially during the first few repetitions to avoid any accidents. Perform 3 sets of 15 squats. In the second exercise, perform a fake, find a step, place your operated leg on the floor, and lean forward, placing your entire body weight on the prosthesis. Count to 5 and return to the starting position. We perform 3 sets of 15 squats. Finally, we must thoroughly work on proprioception and balance. This will allow our body to adapt and rebalance itself according to the circumstances around us. We propose two more exercises. For the first, we place a cushion on the floor; the thicker the cushion, the more difficult the exercise will be. We rest our operated leg on the cushion and, without fully extending it, stand on one leg, resting only on it. It is important that the leg remains slightly bent for proper exercise. We count to 15 and rest. We will try to increase the time we maintain balance on our leg, trying to surpass ourselves each time we do it. Performing 5 sets of this exercise will be sufficient. For the second, we again need a step; we can stack several books; the higher the obstacle, the greater the difficulty. We rest our operated leg on it and try to straighten it, placing all our weight and balance on it. This exercise is extremely difficult, only suitable for those who want to reach their peak physical fitness. Again, we'll try to push ourselves by counting the time we can maintain our balance, and again, we'll try to maintain a slight bend in our knees while performing this exercise. Try to push yourself and be sure to do some physical activity. Before closing, I'd like to urge you to be patient. Everyone heals at a different speed. If the protocol seems too difficult, don't hesitate to give yourself some extra time and rest.
