Your joint will function better with a good exercise program. Limited range of motion and strength after surgery can lead to pain and difficulty walking. The exact procedures your doctor has performed, should dictate the progression of strengthening and flexibility exercises. In order for healing to take place, you will have specific limitations placed on bending or putting weight on your leg.
Your Physical Therapist will design a regimen to restore flexibility and strength to your trunk, hip, and leg muscles. An important role is played by neuromuscular control in coordinating your leg muscles, so that you can balance. It is helpful to improve muscle movement and co-ordination by including balance training in any rehabilitation program. Your physical therapist should also help to limit the effects of post surgical scar tissue. Thus, limiting it’s effects on your ability to move your limb due to muscle imbalances.
