How I Helped This Patient Improve Knee Bending From 90° to 121° in 3 weeks (Knee Replacement)

[@Teleman01]

I had my knee replaced in December. The biggest thing I can say about Knee bending is you have to do it lol. You have to do it every day multiple times a day. And you have to actually put a lot of pressure on that knee. You can't just pussyfoot around and just bend it a tiny bit. One of the things I would do is face away from some stairs and put my leg up on, say, the third stair and drop down. This would bend my leg and I was able to put a lot of pressure on it if I wanted to. I was using my walker when I did this. I would also ride a stationary bike to the point where it was a little uncomfortable on my knee. But it was bending my knee every time I made a rotation. Now I have 130° or so.

Dr Sam Can you please do a Video on Passive And Resting bend and when can you expect your Resting bend to actually catch up to your Passive bend.

Does a patient who has robotic surgery do better with physical therapy and getting their knee back to bending?

[@dr.samanthasmith]

According to research the long term outcomes are the same. I don’t think there’s anything that says robotic does better with bend

I'm on my 18 week post op after TKR. I'm still struggling walking. It seems like the culprit is my knee cap is too tight, making it hard to walk. I'm still doing PT but progressing really slow. What do you think is the solution? thanks

[@vickieshelton9122]

I can bend to 120 degrees but my knee is very tight

[@Joyce-Barker]

I am the same but recognize the muscles above and below are not up to speed..9 weeks later

I need knee extension please . I am 6 months post op . I am -5 knee extension lag please help if possible . My knee bend is 132 that works well . Thank you Dr smith

[@cjackson788]

I’m 10 weeks post op and my physical therapist started my bending exercises 2nd week post op

[@dr.samanthasmith]

That’s perfect! Some people unfortunately get stuck with the bend and all the PT exercises don’t help

[@cjackson788]

@@dr.samanthasmith I hated it in the beginning because it was so painful, but now I appreciate him so much for pushing me. I feel so much better

[@Reefmaster1961]

Two years and 3 month after right TKR… barely 90 ROM. Yes, the brick still there. Still trying to get a hope. Should I try this? I will be broken hearted if it doesn’t work at all…. Will try it.

Am 9 months and 3 months 3 weeks post op my bending and my extension are very good but I can’t walk more than 5 minutes. Am always tired have fatigue also I have cramps on my thighs and lower back pain, what should I do.

[@dr.samanthasmith]

I would highly recommend my 4 Week Strength, Balance & Stretching Class. This will get your muscles to a point where they don’t get so tired so quickly. Please look at the reviews on my site! www.succeedcourses.com/Exercise-class

[@AmenCornerRider]

I am only 16 days PO. Are you suggesting not starting the course until 6 weeks PO?

[@dr.samanthasmith]

Correct. If you are still stuck at 6 weeks, you’ll want to start this course. At 16 days, you still have time to improve! You may not need the course.

[@ronahlstedt6045]

Full range of motion is 140 or better. Please let me know where I'm wrong.

[@dr.samanthasmith]

140 is a great goal for someone who is active. Some people might be happy with 120.

[@sharonreeve7509]

Can you help someone who does not have a knee replacement who has trouble bending my left knee more than 90 degrees?

[@dr.samanthasmith]

Yes! The Knee Bending Course can still help. As long as you have no restrictions from the doctor. www.succeedcourses.com/Knee-bending-course

[@dr.samanthasmith]

6 weeks is the minimum!! The earlier you start the better the results. www.succeedcourses.com/Knee-bending-course

[@geoplaten337]

[@bequetmykamundorff8533]

Seven weeks here and I made it to 112 today but it is hard. I think I’m gonna have to get a little more help.

[@Gigi_1977]

One big commercial

[@dr.samanthasmith]

So am I supposed to create programs that help people and not tell anyone about it? That makes no sense.

[@Gigi_1977]

@@dr.samanthasmith not at all, but you shouldn’t say “ How I helped this patient improve knee bending” like you are showing exercises that improve knee bending.

[@dr.samanthasmith]

@@Gigi_1977I have a million other videos on exercise ideas.

[@alinajmi4004]

You always recommend your courses, you are no help for people, you are looking make money from people

[@dr.samanthasmith]

Sorry this is my job and I have to feed my family? Doesn’t everyone make money from other people? Why would I make a course and not tell anyone? Also, I have a million free KZbin video, instagram videos, articles on my website. I also provide a ton of free consultations and answer hundreds of emails a week for free, I answer thousands of comments and messages for free as well.
