############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZNhAR8ghSs

This patient underwent a right total knee replacement just over six weeks ago. Since then, his leg strength and knee range of motion (ROM) have steadily improved, while pain and swelling in the right knee and leg have significantly decreased. Now that he's reached this stage of recovery, it's time to advance his rehabilitation with more challenging strengthening exercises. Remember, full recovery of pre-operative leg strength typically takes around six months. • In this video, he demonstrates single-leg presses, an essential exercise for building quadriceps strength. The quadriceps are particularly important as they are heavily impacted before and after surgery. These advanced exercises are crucial for achieving the functional gains necessary for maximizing his independence and mobility. • With continued strengthening, he can expect • ✅ Faster walking speed • ✅ Improved ability to negotiate stairs • ✅ Improved single-leg balance • We Can Help You • 🔹Move Better 🔹Feel Better 🔹Live Better • Evolve Physical Therapy in Sherwood • 20510 SW Roy Rogers Rd.
