Biodex Isokinetic Training: A computer-assisted device provides controlled resistance during movement, allowing for precise, targeted strengthening.
Delfi Blood Flow Restriction: Temporarily limiting blood flow to a specific muscle group during exercise to stimulate muscle growth and strength while using lighter weights.
What to Expect in Physical Therapy After Total Knee Replacement
Your physical therapist will complete a comprehensive evaluation of your knee to assess range of motion, strength, and mobility, and will also discuss your goals and any concerns.
Using the results of your initial assessment, your therapist will develop a plan to help you reach your goals. This may include exercises to improve flexibility, strength, and range of motion. Advanced tools such as Biodex isokinetic training and Delfi Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) may also be incorporated.
Your therapist will monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed. You’ll also learn proper techniques for your home exercise program.
