What you showed us is what my Physical Therapist told me. Thank you for making this video.

[@sandyhudkins6489]

Wow! Great videos. I had total hip replacement 5 weeks ago. I wasn't shown a few things that your videos explained.Thank you so much!!!

[@cynthiashepard8258]

when the patient leaned forward to push herself to the edge of the seat she broke 90 degrees

[@SaltiDawg2008]

Nope.

[@princessmissy50]

These videos never tell how to get in and out of a PICKUP TRUCK without breaking 90 degrees... guess I'll have to make a video. It's tricky but I practiced about a month before my surgery & proved I could do it. To get in, you first push your seat back as far as you can to allow room to get in without beding forward. Back up to the passenger door, put your non-op foot on the running board or bar, hold onto the handle or top of the passenger seat, push up with your good leg, and ease your butt up to the back of the seat (still facing out). Then push your butt back a little and carefully swing your operative leg into the truck, without bending forward and breaking your 90 degrees. Fasten your seat belt! To get out just reverse the process, putting your seat back to allow for room.

In all the videos I've seen the surgical leg is always the right. My surgical leg is going to be my left leg.

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

I couldn't get my leg in without lifting it with my hands.

[@adityaanand2315]

natural parts are natural........and after loosing it we realise how precious they are...oh god Very painful

[@kumarirohini6189]

Did you go through hip replacement surgery sir

[@singinprofessor5260]

It’s awful

[@bonniehoke-scedrov4906]

Your video was so informative. Thank you so much!

[@roshanpaldeniyalegedara4005]

Perfect....very useful ...nicely done

[@cynthiashepard8258]

when the patient was getting out of the car she leaned forward as she was pushing to the edge of the seat and broke 90 degrees

[@SaltiDawg2008]

Nope, again!

[@sarahmarzouq1935]

very informative

[@jeffwilsonpdx]

How does a person get into the passenger seat when their left hip was replaced?

[@KevinJohnson-jc9ju]

or both?

[@mustardseed9969]

back seat maybe?

[@johnkellett4849]

When the first lady puts the wedged shaped cushion in the car. She puts it in the wrong way from back to front. Should have low end to front of car.

[@betsycasano9704]

Hi John, The cushion that was placed in the car was not wedge shaped. The depth of it was 4" front to back. I do agree with you though, that if it is a wedge cushion, then the narrower part should be towards the front of the seat. I usually tell people to avoid deep bucket seats, but if they have no other choice, they can use a wedge cushion or place a small hand towel under the basic cushion to fill in the bucket. Hope this helps clarify the video.

[@cynthiashepard8258]

actually the patient broke 90 degrees getting into the car....what is up with this video??????? supposed to be instructional

[@SaltiDawg2008]

Third time you've posted this. You're still mistaken!

[@mariet8434]

My Pt and doc doesn't want me going past 70 degrees .

[@singinprofessor5260]

This is NOT a real patient
Real patient, especially elderly and tall, would struggle tremendously 🥺

[@singinprofessor5260]

What if it’s the LEFT hip?

[@lindakacser6497]

WHAT ABOUT A LEFT HIP? indeed, as one looks at this youtube for the right hip, during the actual entering weight is put on the entering foot, but if that is the left foot - OOPS.

[@GayleJLang]

My exact question. What if it’s your left hip?

[@anitaschweigert83]

Getting left hip done next week I got told to get in like you would get in right side

[@singinprofessor5260]

Anita Schweigert
🤔

[@drewsimicich1019]

My protractor had me at 69 degrees

[@rrog6794]

This is for a posterior total hip replacement or for anterior as well?

[@mr.h5436]

informative. But you used tiny people. Show how a 6'3", 225 lb man gets in that car.

[@sequin99]

I wish tall men were in supply...

[@MrNetnut]

6'6" 250 lbs Would lying in back of SUV Work? TIA;-)

[@KevinJohnson-jc9ju]

any tips for both hips at once I don't and wont have a good leg..

[@thebee4618]

Kevin Johnson I just had left hip done , for a week I was riding in backseat with legs straight.... it all depends how ya feel to

[@moon829]

After a full recovery, is it safe to break that 90 degree?

[@alexandroskamatselos1780]

The hip precautions must be followed for 6 weeks after surgery usually (that's what the orthopedic books are writing, like Brotzman's). The most important one is the avoidance of the adduction from my experience.

[@kimpatterson7571]

Looks like she's bending more than 90 degrees.

[@ticaille59]

I definitely need a bigger car...

[@02chevyguy]

Who else said OUCH at 4:49?

[@defiany3818]

Hmm

[@princessmissy50]

Ok this person broke the 90 degrees in getting out of the car... this car is too low! My surgeon said he prefers his patients to go home in a higjer up vehicle than a low one, for this very reason - the lowness of the car causes the person to bend forward & break the 90 degree rule.

[@PhysicalTherapy101]
