Common Questions and Answers about Rehabilitation knee

rehab

Avatar f tn The answer could go from complete rest to modification of activities and rehabilitation or just rehabilitation. If the tear isn't complete and isn't restricting your activities, rehabilitation is typically a great way to recover from an injury. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Avatar m tn Back then i got treated with some pills and some exercises. My knee is seen with little inflamation always and sometimes its painful while walking fast and going up the stairs. Can some time expalin my health condition. Do i need a surgery. The tear is a horizontal tear and recent scan it say 2.5mm cyst is seen. Need a proper help pls !
Avatar m tn Second, patients must be compliant with the post-operative rehabilitation after a meniscus repair. Rehabilitation following a meniscus repair is more significant than if the torn piece of meniscus is simply removed.Your symptoms might have appeared due to over exertion and as such nothing serious is presumed.You can see your physician for a normal checkup. Refer http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/meniscusinjuries1/a/meniscusrepair.
Avatar f tn Rehabilitation after arthroscopic meniscectomy carries little or no risk. Rehabilitation is continued until the knee has regained full range of motion and strength . Strengthening and coordination exercises can be tried after discussing with your orthopedician: Lateral lunges, front lunges, half squats, leg press, lateral step ups, knee extension (90-40 degrees), hamstring curls, hip adduction and abduction, hip flexion and extension, toe raises, try all of these under an instructor.
Avatar n tn You and your doctor will then decide if you should have surgery plus rehabilitation or intense rehabilitation alone. Which option is right for you depends on several factors, including the extent of damage to your knee and your willingness to modify your activities.Short term treatment includes ice packs, rest, elevation, physiotherapy. Take a second opinion in this regard. Take care.
5987839 tn?1381922502 They get you up and moving almost straight away now, with rehabilitation focusing on early mobilisation of the knee joint, building up quadriceps and hamstring strength.....rehabilitation usually includes walking, bending the legs, and doing exercises that stretch and build up the leg muscles. All of which is going to be more of a problem for you with the preexisting spasticity and mobility issues, but in a 'normal' person recovery generally ranges anywhere from 3-8 weeks.....
Avatar f tn So far my rehab has been going well, however today after sitting my damaged knee crossed over my good knee during a meeting, i stood-up and my knee has started clicking and feels really uncomfortable. Do you think that i may have indadvertedly caused some damage to the graft (I don't usually sit in that position...)?
960998 tn?1247011493 4 surgeries later I can not bend or straiten my leg, Im in constant pain, and now they are telling me the only other thing I can do to fix anything is a total knee replacement.. ( then they dont know if that will help) I dont know what to do, is there anything else I can do?? Please help, Im only 22 and have a three year old son that I cant chase or anything..
Avatar f tn My first knee replacement was in 2002. Second one was in 2003 (on the other knee). For a number of years now I have had pain in my "knees". Even the tissue surrounding them. I've noticed that I can hear the prosthesis move when I move my leg. I swing my legs and they make a funny noise. Today I went to an orthopaedic surgeon about another (unrelated) problem and asked him about the pain in my knees.
Avatar m tn once i run, the knee gets warmed up n its ok, but later it starts paining, especially on inner side of knee and back. once i fold the knee, and then open leg, i have to press back of knee to straighten it up, wonder what has gone wrong?once i rest 2 days or so, it improves but recurs after every running session. what should i do?take up swimming or cycling, less susceptible to injuries?any suggestions,less going to doctor again please???
20881263 tn?1561816684 s really important to continue that until they release you from the need and at that point, they should give you exercises and stretches to do on your own. Proper rehabilitation of the knee really does require this. So, you are likely recovering still and would guess that this 'giving way' feeling is the result of that. Please confirm with your doctor though. If the sensation of buckling continues, you may have retorn the tendon, unfortunately.
Avatar n tn Thank you. My mom is walking with a crutch. She has severe hip aches especially when she sits or stands up. She said she will have a CAT scan on the 20th of August. She had physical therapists for a month at home and when she had these hip aches she stopped physical therapy and started only doing short walks once a day. How long and what kind of physical therapy activities should she be doing after the knee replacement? Thanks.
Avatar m tn Below are the findings of my knee MRI please suggest in this case should i go ahead with the arthoscopy or shall take a treatment..
Avatar f tn t intend on repeating the two surgeries on the other side for a couple of years, unless my left foot or knee dictate it quicker. I am bone on bone on the knee, and the left foot is worse than the right was. Thanks for your encouragement and any other advice is welcome. I hope to go back to teaching in the fall where I travel between 5 locations. I have been off work since the beginning of April. Thanks again.
Avatar m tn The doctors in my country told me she doesnt need rehabilitation and things should be done in the family. There is a nurse working with her right now but she is not specialised in this.
Avatar n tn Hello Dear, Recovery time for these surgeries varies, with an average range of 12 to 16 weeks regarding meniscus repair. Patients are enrolled in a rehabilitation program during this period. Following ACL surgery, the patient enters a rehabilitation program to restore strength, stability, and range of motion to the knee.
Avatar m tn Would he have learned anything in prison, something like rehabilitation? Probably not, but at least he would have been incarcerated and not able to be involved with this. Where do situations like this leave us? This kid didn't learn anything from his first scrape with the law. Chances are, this won't be his last either. He'll do some time for this, but when he gets out his gang will give him "props" and he will have garnered more respect from his fellow gang members.
Avatar f tn I had knee surgery (tibial tuberosity osteotomy with lateral release) 4 weeks ago. Was wanting to hear from other people who have gone through the same procedure. 4 weeks on I can bend my knee about 30 degrees and I am getting a bit more voluntary control of the muscles around my patella. My knee is still a bit swollen and I am still icing 2-3 times per day. I go back to see my surgeon in 2 weeks and would like to know if others have been referred to the physio sooner as this will be 5.
Avatar f tn I have always had great muscular quadriceps. I had a knee injury last year and now I have arthritis in my right knee. I went through therapy a year ago, but my right quadricep does not look like my left quadricep. My question is: How do I build the muscles back up in my quadriceps (as a matter of fact, my entire thigh area)?
Avatar m tn This started 3 months ago, Knee pain that started at night worst pain ever / I went to orthopedic and he drew fluid said it was gout . Shortly after mild right side back pain that seemed to make my knee worse. Went to my Dr at home liver enzymes and cholesterol up . Suggested a low fat diet prescribed anti inflammatories . Pain in back got worse so went to Mayo Clinic , Ct scan reveled a horseshoe lesion liver . Dr said in his opinion nothing to worry about come back in 3 months .
Avatar m tn Now I am paying for it, my knee gives way and I have very bad pain every day my leg is half the size of my other and you can see the sutures move in my knee. I have to go for a Camera in my knee in 4 weeks have I damaged my self ? or can i repair this? pls give me some advice I know its my own fault.
Avatar f tn For knee replacement , the protocol will be almost identical to the shoulder rehabilitation, except the fact that knee range of motion will start from the second day of the surgery. 4) Not related to the knee issue, but rather my shoulder that was replaced - is it possible to do a fusion on a shoulder also? I'm having a great deal of problems with my affected shoulder over the past couple of months and more so the past two weeks and greatly fear that the replacement has failed.
6736456 tn?1384270917 About 3 days in with this pain my left buttock and behind the left knee started feeling numb (or like a falling asleep feeling). No pain between the buttock and knee. I went to a chiropractor and she said it is not a sciatic pinch because it is not a continuous pain down the leg. My lower back pain is gone, but still have the other pains.
