Why Rehabilitation is Crucial After a Total Knee Replacement
Knee replacement surgery involves replacing the damaged joint with a prosthetic one. While this reduces pain and improves function, rehabilitation is essential for:
- Restoring full joint mobility.
- Strengthening surrounding muscles to support the knee.
- Retraining the body to walk and move naturally.
- Preventing complications such as stiffness, weakness, or swelling.
