Physiotherapy exercises are crucial for individuals who have undergone total knee replacement surgery. These exercises help in regaining strength, flexibility, and mobility in the knee joint, as well as reducing pain and swelling. Here are some common physiotherapy exercises prescribed after total knee replacement: 1. Quadriceps Sets: Sit or lie down with your leg extended. Tighten the muscles on the front of your thigh by pushing the back of your knee down into the floor. Hold for a count of 5 to 10 seconds, then relax. Repeat 10 to 15 times, several times a day. 2. Straight Leg Raises: Lie on your back with one leg bent and the other straight. Lift your straight leg to the height of your bent knee, keeping your knee straight. Hold for 5 seconds, then slowly lower your leg. Start with 10 repetitions and gradually increase. 3. Heel Slides: Lie on your back with both legs straight. Slide your operated leg's heel toward you...
