How to recover after joint replacement of rehabilitation equipment

Rehabilitation equipment can start short-distance walking training under the guidance of a professional rehabilitation therapist. During training, active activities are the main and passive activities are supplemented. Early rehabilitation training can help regain muscle strength around the knee joint, improve joint mobility and restore balance and coordination. When muscle strength and endurance are increased, walking time can be gradually extended.

1. Walk on foot: first use the walking frame to assist walking, and when the center of gravity is stable, use bilateral axillary sticks. Place the walker 20 cm in front of the body, step out of the operated leg first, and then follow the unoperated leg. So cycle.

2. Up and down stairs: When going up the stairs, first step up the healthy limbs, and then step up the surgical limbs; when going down the stairs, first move the crutches to the next step, then step down the surgical limbs, and finally step the healthy limbs Down the stairs.

3. Walk with crutches: put the weight of your body on your hands, not under your armpits. Take the operated leg first, move the crutches forward at the same time, and then take the healthy leg before the crutches.
