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.

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

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.

Aloha doc I'm struggling with my knee bend. My pt is very demanding n doesn't give me support. Only scolds me. How can I join your pt

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

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 can’t find your FB group. Do you have a link to it?

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
