It's May 2024 and I'm just now, because of your video, learning how to walk without a debilitating and painful limp❤ THANK You for going on Janey's Channel!! I'm a lifelong subscriber now! Thank you so much 🙏
Dr. Mike thank you. I had TKR on my right knee 3 weeks ago and that is my biggest problem - getting rid of my limp. I'm going to practice these steps all day today.

Thank you for this video I really am focusing on my walking still having issues stiff knee cap working hard on it I will try this steps 😊 From Chicago Illinois Had a knee replacement on December 14 2023 went back for an MUa on Feb 8 2024 been thru a rough road doing everything I can for a Well Recovery.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! Stiffness around the knee cap is normal and you should practice patellar mobilizations to help with the mobility. With more practice on these strategies your walking will start to feel more normal. Wishing you the best of luck in your recovery!!
3 weeks post op knee, I hate my limp!
Thanks for watching! Hoping your recovery is going well and don’t worry the limp will get better if you focus on your walking! Wishing you the best!!!
Such good information and knowledge to build one’s recovery. Thanks so much as I m 10 weeks out and 119 ROM with my PT. Dr Mike- thank you as these exercises made my increased Flex and Range! Keep them going
Wow 119 degrees of ROM? Astounding! I want to thank you tremendously for taking the time to watch this one and for taking the time to share your thoughts! I love hearing from you all! I’m glad this video was helpful for you!
Please advise on bilateral TKT
Thanks for watching! Is there anything in particular that you’re wanting to know? (Etc. How to recover after bilateral TKR? Effective exercises?)
Dr Mike, regarding footwear, are flat bottom shoes/trainers better than footwear with a raised heel? i am 10 weeks post TKR and looking for the best footwear to use, also i have noticed when i walk my toes have a natural tendency to point outwards, i am trying to walk with the toes pointing straight ahead but find i can only do this if i'm conscious doing it, Many Thanks.
Thanks for watching this one and for taking the time to comment here! Great question! My recommendation is to find footwear that have a wide toe box, are flexible, and have a thin sole. This will allow your feet to naturally spread when your foot hits the ground and can give your calf muscles the proper amount of stretch when walking after TKR! I discuss the benefits of minimalist shoes in some of my other videos! I’ll post the link below for you to watch! Great question! czcams.com/video/0Tet3mJGX1Y/video.htmlsi=60-Erqn3F4RGNKvf
I'm 44 days post-op and I'm really getting impatient with myself. I'm at 118 degrees and my PT is happy with that. However ,I'm ready to start putting some weight on my leg. Is it too soon for me to do this particular exercise?
Thanks for stopping by to watch this one! I appreciate your support! It sounds like your range of motion is coming along very well! And yes these exercises will be safe to implement to start improving your walking. Just monitor your pain and swelling. Take care and wishing you the best!
Will this help me not to limp/walk with bend in knee?
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! This video was intended to help others feel strong and be able to walk correctly without limping. Hope you found it helpful! Take care
What recommendations can you give for someone who's been wheelchair bound for 3 yrs, TKR on both knees, w/ one reversal.
The knees are straighten when stretching , yet when doing sit/stand to prepare for transitioning from the wheelchair to walking, there's a slight bend n tightness in the knee☹️
@@itsmemyselfi1323 I’m in the same boat with the bend, but I’m just focusing on keeping straight when sleeping walking as normal as possible, stretches
