Such great information thank you so much for everything

Thank you very much! I'm 15 weeks post-op and have been using the first and the two last techniques, I will now be adding the lunge to my repertoire...

Very helpful thanks.

I so needed this information as I fell 4 weeks after my replacement onto the garage floor and had to call the EMT’s to get me up as I didn’t want to damage the replacement. I have wondered after this incident to even how to accomplish getting off the floor! I will definitely practice your tips!

So happy to help! It’s so important to be able to get on and off the floor

Thank you for this video. I’m six weeks PO, and I’m craving to get on the floor, but for the life of me couldn’t figure out how I would get back,up! I’m just staring kneeling via,my our kneeling video! The first couple ways are easy, and a great way to start. I love how you give us tips on how to get there in stages! Thanks again

You are so welcome!

Excellent video 👌

Excellent video..The key point that you conveyed was that it is essntial to have upperbody strenght/ Arm strenght to get yourself up and down from the floor.

Yes! Need to be able to do a half push up to get up

Thank you , that happen to me didn’t know how to get back up 😅You are the best !!!

Thank you for several how to’s. I asked my PT to show me how to do this before I was discharged. They were a bit surprised that I asked. I asked if it was part of their curriculum for TKR and they said no. How surprising is that!

Thank you so much I’ve had both knees done seven months apart, I’m really a bit nervous about getting up and down I’m 6 weeks out now …

I’ve had a 28 point turn to stand up from on the ground all these years. Who knew it could be so easy 😊

Had fall today.have both knees, hips, shoulders replaced. Starting your exercises now.! Thankyou.

Also couldn't get up until help came

Could you do a video on a knee replacement with a patella that is baha ( low patella. This month ( December) will be 6 years and I’d like to be able to bend it as much as my non surgical knee. I had 3 knee surgeries before I was old enough to have a replacement. Thankyou

How do people with BLTKR do this?

I had my Tkr on nov 17th and the pain has become little less, but i'm not able to bend my knees as it is pretty stiff. What should i do for this

I had mine Nov 16 - heel slides frequently has been my key to being able to bend my knees. This motion becomes the lotion for doing more as you heal.

Greetings, I have 3 months since my acl reconstruction, and I just returned to the office. I noticed my knee gets stiff sitting down for hrs, and I have to walk it off. Is there anything you can advise? This gets painful.

Not sure if this is workable for you, but I found that taking a folding step stool and resting my heel on it helped a lot. I can go between bent knee and straight knee, and do some hamstring stretches occasionally also.

Hello, I am Shadi from Lebanon. Can you help me? My mother had a knee replacement surgery a month and twenty days ago. She is 77 years old. She still will not be able to extend her leg and bend it 90 degrees. The size of the tumor is very small, but her muscles are weak. She has no strength. As I said, she is busy cleaning the house and gets tired. I worked on a device. cpm How long does it take for her to open and fold her legs?

It might be good for her to do my Post Surgery Course. That will help her with the exercises. Www.Succeedcourses.Com/post-surgery-course

Iam in 5 weeks post op. Can i try sitting on the floor

What do you do if your knees are sore and swollen and stiff. What would you do

@dr.samanthasmith

I probably would not attempt it quite yet.

If I were nearby I would volunteer for my suggestion. I am a woman of substantial size. It would be very useful for me to see someone with problems with body size getting in the way of doing the suggestions. My legs look more like tree trunks than saplings. As I mentioned, I have no shame and I'd be willing to be the model.

My surgeon keeps saying, no kneeling, would there be a some of us shouldn’t after surgery or can we all try it?

@dr.samanthasmith

Most the time everyone can do it. But check with the surgeon. You need to be able to kneel for even a few seconds. If a fall were to happen or you need to pick some up from under the bed. Kneeling is imperative

How long do u wait until u start doing this? My knee replacement was 2 weeks ago

I did not see where she showed how to get down on the floor with both knees replaced. I am a preschool teacher & we have circle time twice a day.

2 total knees, 68 years, 20 extra pounds and Parkinson’s….not that easy to get off the floor!
