The process of rehabbing begins the day after surgery. You’ll be up on your feet, probably with the help of a cane, crutches, parallel bars, or a walker. You will meet with a physical therapist who will walk you through a series of exercises to improve movement and increase the blood flow to your legs and feet. That’s important because it prevents blood from clotting.

Your physical therapist will also show you how to get in and out of bed, and how to use the crutches or the walker.

Your knee will get stronger as you keep moving. Your therapist may ask you to walk up and down the hospital corridor or outside. They may assist you in climbing stairs. By the time you’re ready to go home, you should be able to bend your knee at a 90-degree angle, bathe and dress on your own, and only use walking aids sparingly.
