Exercises to Do Before Your Knee Replacement Surgery

Before knee replacement surgery, you should focus on 3 goals.

The first goal is to restore as much knee range of motion as possible. It is especially important to have a fully straight knee to walk normally.

The second goal is to maximize the strength of your quadriceps muscle. This muscle is responsible for walking, climbing stairs, and getting up from a chair. Your quadriceps muscle becomes very weak immediately after surgery.

The third goal is to normalize your balance and walking pattern.

[Lower physical activity may impact your heart health 12 years before disease onset]

Several lifestyle changes can help lower the risk for heart disease, including being physically active.

A new study found that adults who developed heart disease later in life experienced a decline in their physical activity about 12 years before their cardiovascular event.

Scientists also discovered that Black male participants had a more continuous decline in physical activity from young adulthood to middle age, and Black female participants consistently reported the lowest physical activity throughout adulthood, highlighting disparity.
