Get Your Knee Straight FAST With This Device: Total Knee Replacement & Other Knee Injuries

[@geraldarcuri9307]

Full range-of-motion by six weeks is a nice goal, but it isn't the norm. Full extension, yes. Full flexion, no.

What exercises if u don't have device?

[@barbaradonald9497]

You are absolutely amazing thank you.

How much hypertension is “acceptable “ after a TKR? I know it prob differs for each person. Can you provide an acceptable range?

[@dr.samanthasmith]

Usually the knee won’t hyperextend with a knee replacement. We want it at 0

Can I use this after a MUA to help extension?

[@dr.samanthasmith]

Yes!

[@1wileysgirl]

@dr.samanthasmith thank you. My MUA is Thursday and I might just get this

[@TopJimmy2]

how far out is this useable. I'm 9 months and can't get to zero. My flex is 125+ but extension is at a 4

[@dr.samanthasmith]

It’s hard to say if it will work or not. But I think it’s absolutely worth a try. www.amazon.com/dp/B096L3DDJ3?maas=maas_adg_F85181EAB93853DE4D0C86E45E480D8E_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas

Hi Dr. Smith- I'm at 2 degrees 6 weeks po, would this still be useful for me at this point to get to zero? Or should I continue with the other extension exercises I'm doing such as hanging my leg off the bed with a 5 lb weight?

[@dr.samanthasmith]

It’s good to have several options. I really like this ideal stretcher to help get those last 2 degrees. www.amazon.com/dp/B096L3DDJ3?maas=maas_adg_F85181EAB93853DE4D0C86E45E480D8E_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas

What if one has painful Frozen Shoulders & Stiff Neck on both sides which would be further aggravated after using this device? Even normal Pull Straps are painful to use.

[@dr.samanthasmith]

You might want to do a more passive stretch like propping the foot up on a chair in front of you.

I am at 4 months I have good flexion but cannot get my knee straight. Is it too late for me? Is there anything I can do exercise wise other than the knee extension too. It’s a bit expensive and I don’t know if it will work at 4 months. Thanks so much I’m, getting so frustrated

[@dr.samanthasmith]

Not too late! People still improve months after surgery. Always worth trying.

[@bamatractor]

Thats goona hurt!

[@antoniettabonfigliovetere1195]

Expensive!
