Total Knee Replacement (TKR) Rehabilitation
Total knee replacement surgery is performed to relieve severe knee pain, improve mobility, and restore function—especially in cases of advanced arthritis or joint damage. After surgery, a structured rehabilitation plan is essential for regaining strength, movement, and the ability to return to daily or athletic activity safely.
Total Knee Replacement (TKR) Rehabilitation
Causes and Risk Factors:
- Advanced osteoarthritis or joint degeneration
- Long-term knee pain and stiffness limiting movement
- Severe joint damage from previous injuries or conditions
- Loss of cartilage resulting in bone-on-bone contact
- Poor quality of life or reduced independence due to knee dysfunction
What Happens If Left Untreated?
Without proper rehab, TKR patients may experience limited knee motion, chronic pain, muscle weakness, difficulty walking, and delayed return to normal function or sport.
