After a knee replacement or hip replacement surgery it is extremely common to need to use a walker to help take weight off your surgically repaired leg. In this video we will show you how to use your walker safely for everyday movements such as sitting in a chair, getting out of a chair, getting into bed, getting out of bed, walking and turning.
You can find other helpful daily activity videos and rehabilitation exercise videos in our knee repalcement and hip replacement app. Curovate provides exercise guidance for 6 months after knee replacement and hip repalcement. Find the app links at the bottom of the page!
