This is a huge deal for those of us living in warm climates. Falling in a parking lot when it's 110 degrees can earn you a trip to the burn limit.
I agree @ftdefiance1 and I hope that doesn't happen.🙏
Ive had both knees and both hips replaced. When I fall, I cant find a position that allows me to get up without a vertical suppirt like a chair or a tree.
I'm sorry to hear this @suzybottomley2275. Based on what you mentioned, your hip and knee muscles are most probably very weak. Strengthening them may help your situation.
Me too!
Great Video.
Thank you @billirlbeck1597!♥
I'm looking for a way to be able to get off the floor and found this video. One full replacement and one partial where the original parts of that knee are deteriorated - and the kneecap on that side jumps track medially if there's any significant sideways movement.
This didn't work for me, but thank you for trying to help.
I'm sorry to hear that this didn't help @Carmensrt. I wish you the best.🙏
@@restorepluspt Denise down in the comments had a method that works for me, and I wouldn't have seen it without looking at your video, so it's all good. Thanks!
It’s unnecessary to get onto the knees at all. After turning just keep your hands and feet on the floor and raise the butt into a downward dog position and walk your hands back to your legs and then unfold your body into a standing position. It is so easy. There’s no way I want to get onto my knees for at least several months.
Thank you for your input.
Yes, when I was younger, I could do that. Now, with my poor balance, I would fall on my head. It's happened😂.
Holy snap, thank you! My core is good, as is my flexibility, so I have this a try and I can do it! Woohoo!
@@Carmensrt super! I don’t know when your surgery was done but it’s been 4.5 months for me and I can now get on my knees and stay there for a while, pain-free. And I no longer need to do the downward dog thing either. It’s worth trying it periodically and at some point you may be able to do the same thing.
@@denisesarazin6753 My fully replaced knee is about a year out, and it's functionally okay. Not great, but it is what it is. Nothing beats properly working original equipment! The other knee was a partial replacement less than 5 years ago and the other parts deteriorated far faster than expected. That knee cap now jumps track if I twist the knee too much, which happened originally after I was just getting off the floor my normal way. Now I have to be incredibly careful about twisting motions. Your method of getting up doesn't involve a twisting motion under pressure, so yeah! I can kneel on my knees, but the bad kneecap starts to feel sketchy when I do. Thanks again for posting your method!
If you can push with your arms against the floor to move yourself near something you can use to help get you up off the floor this works. I've used this to help myself. Good luck everyone.
Great tip @raramonty5217! Thank you for sharing!♥
It's a lovely video, but I do not have the full bend in both knees. I had my replacements during covid, and i had no correct physio, which hindered the process of getting exercise. I did do what I could at home, but I had no support at all. I have fallen 5 times since the replacement in a space of two years, and it's quite scary. I have osteoarthritis in all my joints and so find it extremely hard to get up.. It's the arm strength I suffer with and no correct bend ability. The correct angle is just not there. :(😢😢
I'm sorry to hear this @bumblebeahoneypot1162. I understand what you mean. Do what you can to improve your arm strength and also your core and hip strength. They can help compensate for the lack of flexion on your knee in getting up from the floor. It will still be a challenge though. I wish you the best.🙏
I had both knees replaced 11 years ago and cannot even kneel on the mattress to make the bed. Excruciating even with a pillow under it. I have fallen a couple of times and tried scooting, backing up to the couch and pushing myself onto the couch. When I fell on the sidewalk, there was nothing to boost myself up on and did not want to have my knee on the concrete. I twisted my body over so only my feet and hands made contact with the ground and walked back using my hands. Not ideal as my shoulders are not so strong either.
I understand what you are describing @chebotark. That is a tough situation. Have you tried desensitizing your knees? Maybe that can help decrease the pain. Or maybe the scars are too hard and causes pain also when kneeling on them? Sometimes the knees just cannot tolerate much weight on it. My suggestion is strengthening your abdominals, hips and arms so that you can compensate and be able to get up using these other muscles. It won't be pretty but it can be done. I wish you the best.🙏
❤ me too. And how undignified and embarrassing it is too. If any one can give advice on how to handle getting up without pushing an alarm button, I'll be very grateful. My problem is how to use a cane or walking stick effectively.
@suzybottomley2275 , check the the video I created in my channel on how to use a cane. Hope it helps.
What do I do to get string enough to do that. I’m trying but can’t do that well
Good question @lauralofy1676. I suggest strengthening your quads and your glutes muscles. I shared some videos on how to strengthen those muscles in my channel. I hope they help.🙏
I have 20 year old knee replacements and cannot kneel so if I fall, how the heck would I ever get up? No one seems able to address the issue I have. Suggestions besides calling for help? Doors are kept locked and I don’t want the house broken into.
That is a good question @user-hd7kn1uu4i. The solution I suggest to my patients in situations similar to yours can be easy or difficult depending on your flexibility and strength. It involves going on your stomach and instead of kneeling, start propping yourself up like going to a downward dog position (yoga pose). This will allow you to skip the kneeling part when getting up. I hope this helps.🙏
My mum has an emergency pendant that she wears and spare door keys in a lockbox at her front door so if she falls she can press the button on the pendant - it automatically phones her neighbour who can answer and let herself in as she has the code to the key box. If she doesn’t pickup it goes to emergency services and an ambulance is despatched to her home and they have the key code also. This device is free in Australia as it helps elderly people maintain their independence. Hope this helps
@@diphasey3061 That kind of service is available here in the US but you have to pay for it. One alternative there is using a smart watch. I gave my Mom a smart watch that has fall detection and also programmed the emergency contacts on her speed dial. She can use tap or voice command to call for emergency.
That would work if I still had my 50 yo thighs! I fell outdoors last spring and had to drag myself to a tree. I cant kneel easily and it feels like no connection between them and hips.
Strengthening your hip and knee muscles may help your situation @suzybottomley2275
