Summary
In summary, stretching, strengthening, mobilization, stability and coordination exercises are an essential and major component of rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty. They not only ensure that the patient gets back on his or her feet as quickly as possible after the operation, but also provide a good foundation in preparation for the operation and the subsequent healing process. Patients are advised to continue to do the exercises they have learned on their own even after completion of the rehabilitation measures, so that the knee remains mobile and agile in the long term and the prosthesis is stabilized in the best possible way. This enables the patients to lead an almost unrestricted everyday life.
