I'm starting week four knee replacement. Your videos have been a great deal of help. Thanks so much.
Thank you for your expansion 😊
I enjoy your videos, always educational and helpful. Could you guys do a range of motion video for the hips?
incredible!
Thank You.
I torn my PCL grade 3 an year back, 😔 didn't go through surgery because of lockdown. It hurts when i try to bend it fully. Wondering if surgery is needed. Could you please make a video on the topic and suggest some exercises? Thanks 🙌
Enjoyed the video. I’m 9 weeks out from a TKR and still have a bit of swelling. Even with the swelling, I’ve managed a 110 degree knee bend. What’s the best way to reduce swelling and achieve maximum knee bend before I hit the 12 week mark?!
Thanx for reminding me that I shouldn't fret if I'm not in the "flexibilty range of motion norms" & keep using R.I.S.E...You guys are ✨️GREAT!✨️...@ 4wks post Sx & my therapist is yelling @ me cause I'm not @ 90° yet. I think I'm past 90°. Not listening to his negative feedback. Just dilitgently do my homework everyday👩🦯... It's a shame that I have to turn to the internet for positive reinforcement😒...But REALLY glad the "Bob & Brad Team" has my back🦿
Thanks lot
Possible other tools that help increasing the bend angle are a stationary bike (the lower the seat post the more bend angle) and a rowing machine to mimik the heel slide. I ve got a bilateral unicondylar knee arthroplasty d13 and both work for me.
Hello, I have an important question for me, how is it going with sitting and standing from the chair or sitting on the floor and then standing up? How do I relieve the pain of the knees while getting up from the chair, without the need to cling to what surrounds me before standing up?
Super sir thanks
May I know which exercise home equipment after total bilateral knee surgery
Hello
I just had PKR on 8/5 my knee is still tight and stiff can you give me any pointers
Since 9/11/20 ok I had an tibial plateau FX range motion 112 degree 3/06/ 21 full weight bearing em I able to go back to work?
Wonderful! Thanks!
I had a knee replacement over 20 years ago and it's never been right since is there anything I can do now?
What about for patella tendon rupture?
Will these exercises help even if you don’t have surgery? I had a meniscus tear, about 3 months ago. I feel the pain when i try to bend my knee completely. My doc suggested to do a surgery, but i refused to do so, as I’m able to walk around comfortably. It’s only when i bend my knee while lying down to the chest, it really hurts after a certain degree. Will these exercises in your video help me out??
Should we try to fully bend our knee after TKR ? Is there any risk attached to that?
I am 95 degrees in 5 weeks I have outpatient now they extended my outpatient and swimming now I am doing good I want to do better thank you guys
I still have a lot of swelling after 7 months and still having a hard time with rom, dr injected voltaren 2 times and swelling still hasn’t subsided. Anything I can do differently??
Thanks

I ruptured all my ligaments in a nasty knee dislocation and only have half an MCL rt now. Trying to get to 90° so I can have next surgery. These look so helpful- I've had nothing but issues with standard heel pull. I am fighting for every degree at this point and range between 70-82. Any other videos you advise me to watch?
I ruptured every ligament with my knee dislocation as well. I had PLC repair as well....which prevented me from starting rom exercises until 4 weeks PO. I'm now 8 weeks and a bit stuck at 70-80. Looking for more exercises to do at home aggressively. Keep up the good work
How it's going??? Can i do them even if they hurt?? And how many times a day?? Please??
@@simmair same case with me...... it's been two month I only reached 90 degree..... 🥺
@@sristiagrawal957 how are you right now ?
Had bilateral knee replacement now 18 months ago, experiencing lots of pain behind the patellas, your thoughts to rectify.
Stretch your recessus suprapatellaris by massaging it,
Stretch your m. quadriceps because it reaches to your tibia over your patella
Giving it some lenght reduces pressure beneath your patella
It takes much more for steps than 85 degrees,leg presses are great for getting more bend and building all leg muscules
What is this? Im here for Bob & Brad
I broke my femur a few years ago and still feel a pain when I bend my knee all the way I want to get back in sports and don’t know what to do
Oh wow I need y'all to be my physical therapist. I had a partial knee replacement and its been a month and im still having issues bending. Went physical therapy and they had my crying and screaming and very painful. I need help with range of motion. What can I do
Hello...I had the same experience with the crying /screaming at PT. My surgeon stopped me from going to PT because of the trauma. I am 6 months post op and can only bend 90 degrees at best. Are you bending more now? If so, may I ask what you did? I’m miserable and desperate. Thank You 🙏
What about down steps and stationary bike
What is the maximum knee bend ?
Seven weeks past patellar fracture and one week out of total immobilization. Hoping these will help as I am not even at 40 degrees.
So did it help?
Hi I m seven weeks past patella fracture. Please share your experience
I just found your videos. Had a lTKR on 2/26/21, and I was doing pretty good at first. Then I developed tendonitis in my quad tendon and it really set me back. I'm over 4 months post op, and am back to a 90 - 95 degree bend. But last week I couldn't even get to 90 degrees. I'm starting over now. The PT I had before just wasn't any good. Didn't seem to care. Wouldn't tell me anything, just put me on a bike machine and that was it. I had to ask her to measure my flexion. I got a different PT now, and am paying him myself. He meets me at the gym and we are strengthening my muscles. I have the knee glide and I am working to improve my flexion. My question is, at what point is it too late to improve knee flexion?
Hi guide me what are you doing my knee stuck on 90 and last 20 days before I achieved 90 and I feel pt just doing time pass and take money every day. My 2 month complete.
There is really no point that is too late to improve - yes it will be easier closer to the surgery but Athletes with no real problems use stretching exercises to increase Flexibility all the time. My case was particularly problematic - I completely ruptured my Quad Tendon and the first three (Yup) operation ALL failed completely within 6 weeks. The fourth operation included a Graft and anchors and I was told not to start PT for 8 weeks at least. AND I still got a small tear in that surgery. The doctor said I would never get to 90 degrees - But I am currently at 105 degrees At the end of the fourth month and I WILL get another 10 or so degrees. (Maybe more).. In fact the last 10 degrees came in the last month. RICE is extremely important since I still have inflammation in the Knee area but it is coming down a little. I use a compression sock on that leg too. Please note I am over 80 but my mom is still alive and can walk better than me for now. Most important - do not give up and do not listen to those who tell you it cannot be done as well. They are wrong.
I forgot to add - Voltaren Cream is Diclofenac generic - is a NSAID pain reliever and Anti-inflammatory that works for me. It is expensive BUT Walmart and others now have a Generic version that is less than Half the price and Costco sells it as well. ASK YOUR DOCTOR though - it depends on what other pain relievers you are taking whether you can use it or not and if you are using a blood thinner you probably cannot use it. My doctorate is in Music and I cannot prescribe medicine.
I’m 9 weeks post op quadriceps tendon repair and I’m no near 60 degrees….!!!? Wt u taking about guys????
I got shot in my knee cap and had to put my knee back together, I’m only 19 and I really hope I can learn to bend my leg 😪
i hope you heal soon. i had to have patella surgery and get screws along with a few other things and bending is really a struggle for me too😒 was can do it though
You can hun I am 55 years old talk to your physical therapist they will help you 🙏🙏🙏
Im 20 and about to have the same surgery done, how has healing been for you?
@@madisonmonique3070 same tho , how are you rignt now ?
Praying for your full healing. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Why no sound???
What if my knee feels like is locked what should i do to get full range of motion
How r u now??
Ok tell the difference in a TKR with a 3D knee replacement and normal knee replacement surgery. Mainly getting back to normalcy in flexinility
I’m six months out from total knee replacement surgery and I still struggle with range of motion. Bending and straightening. I have also had a manipulation done and still struggling. I have ordered equipment to help me but not making good progress. This is depressing!!!
If it’s any help, I was 45 AROM by 8 weeks and extremely desperate. I bought a lower and upper body cycle and did that 3 times a day 30 minutes to get my joints going. In 10 weeks I went from 45 to 120 AROM and now I’m at 135. Hopefully this can help. Best of luck!
One week out and my knee is a mile away from being able to get straight. Physical therapy place is concerned how Little movement I have

Hi , I was reading your comment & wondering if your injury was a tibia plateau fracture?
i can cross my legs, im no where near 115 degrees
I didn't start physical therapy until a month out, now it's 2mons and I'm only at maybe 40 with tons of swelling 😓
Hey, what about knee bending now?
I'm two months out and only have 90 degrees
We wouldn't recommend giving up. Here is a link to our knee replacement program that may help. Please remember not to push yourself beyond your limits so you do not hinder your recovery: www.bobandbrad.com/health-programs/total-knee-replacement-fitness--program
That might be part of the problem. My therapist have been trying to force my knee to bend and I stay in excruciating pain
I did let pain be my guide. I want to go back to Construction worker.
i’m at week 6 and it’s still harder to get anywhere over 100 degrees in flexion!
I got to 102 by week 7 and got discouraged 😕 I feel so tight all the way through the leg and into the backside and groin. I’ve just started seeing an osteopath for dry needling to release tension in there. I’m at week 8 now, will be interesting to see where I’m at by the end of this week
How are u now??
I have my knee surgery for 11 month I still cant bend 90 degrees what am I suppose to do to make my knee bend
Same situation here 🥺💔
I'm trying many exercises but not bending above to 65 degree
How are you now???
@@Crypto_Dude221 and now.???
@@Crypto_Dude221 can you tell me about your current condition
Younger side in my late 40’s and extreme difficulty with bending only 104 after 8 weeks, getting disappointed
If it’s any help, I was 45 AROM by 8 weeks and extremely desperate. I bought a lower and upper body cycle and did that 3 times a day 30 minutes to get my joints going. In 10 weeks I went from 45 to 120 AROM and now I’m at 135. Hopefully this can help. Best of luck!
The Knee Glide is useless unless you oil it - it barely slides. Functional, but crazy over priced.
The problem is these assistants they just talking by the theory side of it if they get injured for real!!! That will be totally different story.
