Benefits of Physical Therapy After Knee Replacement Surgery
Physical therapy is important in knee replacement recovery, offering numerous benefits that significantly enhance the rehabilitation process. Research by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons indicates that patients who engage in postoperative physical therapy experience better outcomes and higher satisfaction rates. Physical therapy helps restore mobility and flexibility, which are crucial for regaining full function of the knee joint and strengthens the muscles around the knee, providing better support and reducing the risk of future injuries. By providing a structured, personalized rehabilitation plan, physical therapists play an essential role in ensuring a successful knee replacement recovery according to the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy.
