The Importance of the First 6 Weeks
Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a highly successful surgery, but the surgery itself is only half the battle. The rehabilitation you do in the first 6 weeks dictates the range of motion you will have for the rest of your life.
Why Home Visit Rehab is Essential Post-TKR
For elderly patients recovering from TKR in Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills, traveling to a clinic is painful and increases the risk of falls or infection. Home visit physiotherapy allows the patient to recover in a safe, controlled environment.
Key Rehabilitation Milestones
Weeks 1-2: Controlling Swelling & Achieving Extension
The immediate goal is to achieve 0 degrees of knee extension (a perfectly straight leg). We use icing protocols, ankle pumps, and gentle patellar mobilizations.
Weeks 3-6: Restoring Flexion & Walking
We aim for at least 110 degrees of knee flexion (bending). We transition the patient from a walker to a cane, focusing on a normal heel-to-toe gait pattern.
Weeks 7+: Strength & Independence
Advanced strengthening of the quadriceps and glutes to allow the patient to climb stairs and walk outdoors independently without walking aids.
