Detailed explanation-1: -One of the most common problems people experience after knee replacement is a stiff knee joint. 1 This can cause difficulty with activities that require a lot of bending, including going down stairs, sitting in a chair, or getting out of a car.
Detailed explanation-2: -Keep your feet and knees pointed straight ahead, not turned in or out. Your knees should be either stretched out or bent in the way your therapist instructed. Sit in a firm chair with a straight back and armrests. After your surgery, avoid stools, sofas, soft chairs, rocking chairs, and chairs that are too low.
Detailed explanation-3: -Total knee replacement, also known as total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which parts of the knee joint are replaced with artificial (prosthetic) parts (image 1). A normal knee functions as a hinge joint between the upper leg bone (femur) and the lower leg bones (tibia and fibula) (figure 1).
