(3) NEW Exercises to Walk Normally Again After Total Knee Replacement in 2023

(3) BEST Exercises for Walking Normally After a Total Knee Replacement. In this video, I break walking pattern down into 3 components: the heel strike, toe off, and full cycle. Each of these three exercises may be performed during the first week after surgery through they 12th week after surgery. Anyone who is struggling to eliminate a limp after total knee replacement should talk to your physical therapist to determine if these exercises are right for you.

I’m 3 years from a left tkr. I still watch this channel. I wish I would have found this channel back then. Keep up the good work and information.

I'm 7 weeks tomorrow! I'll try this. My PT had me walk backwards too!
Thank you Tony
You are a BIG blessing to MANY!
Just did it today, 12.05.22 and it feels ok! Thanks AGAIN!

8 weeks after surgery and no one ever explained this to me.

12 weeks and I walk quite well but wobbling a little I will try this as I am sure it will give me more confidence, thank you.

[annamariearnold]

Oh my your an excellent PT too bad your not mine. I’m going in on Wednesday for my left TKR. I’ve been watching you for a least a month and will continue. I’m so scared of the operation and the pain, what a ninny I am. But thank you for all you do.

[lindaellis]

Day 21 post left tkr and I just tried these! So grateful for you, Tony, and this video especially. I will do these several times a day until my gait improves.

Thanks Tony. Great exercises. I have had both my knees replaced (12 May 2022 and 22 September 2022). My flexion and extension are great 140 and 0 but I have problems walking. My hips hurt and I walk stiff. It seems I don't bend my right knee enough when I touch the ground and I li8ft my hip. It's my latest replacement. My PT had me do one leg modified squats today. Will try your exercises too. Any other tips? I really don't like how my walking is now and I am afraid I will damage my hips. And thanks again for all your help during these two knee replacement.

Hey. This really helps. Thanks for the info.

[chrissmhute]

I am now able to walk again . All thanks to you

[auntiemolly]

Thanks, I really needed this video. I buckled a lot in the beginning.

[victoriamaarleveld]

Thanks for sharing this is what I needed cause it's a year in a half n I still have that buckle feeling when walking n it hurts n feels like I'm gonna fall Soviet will practice this exercise

[nancyduhalde]

Thank you! Actually we CAN hear the swipe LOL! Really appreciate this help!

[misslinlane]

Thanks Tony. You break it into small manageable steps. I also, post op, appreciate that when there is a twinge of pain, the body’s natural reaction is to pull back and protect itself. That was a hard lesson for me to learn!
