Knee: Knee Arthroscopy Post-Operative Exercises

Perform the following exercises twice each day for 30 minutes:

• Range of Motion Exercise: Lie flat on a bed. Bend your knee through full range of motion, gently forcing your knee back slightly more each time. Hold each stretch for 30 seconds, and then slowly straighten your knee completely. Repeat ten times each session.  
• Independent Passive Extension: Using one hand above and one hand below the kneecap, gently press down to stretch the knee into extension. Increase the pressure as you are able to tolerate, and give your knee a continuous stretch for 10 seconds avoiding any bouncing motion. Repeat ten times each session.
• Armchair Flexion Exercises: While sitting slide your operated leg back toward the chair. Slowly slide yourself in the chair keeping your operated foot still on the ground and your knee bent as much as possible until you feel a comfortable and sustained stretch. Hold each stretch for 30 seconds. Repeat ten times each session.
