Regaining Movement After Knee Replacement: What’s Actually Possible?

 Are you wondering if you’ll ever walk normally again after a total knee replacement? You're not alone. One of the most common questions patients ask at Aadhya9 Multispecialty Hospital, West Delhi is:

"Can I bend my knee, walk freely, or climb stairs again after surgery?"

The short answer: Yes, absolutely—with the right care and rehabilitation.

🚶 Walking After Knee Replacement

Most patients start walking within a day or two after the surgery using a walker. As you heal:

• Week 1–2: Short walks with a walker or cane

• Week 3–6: Gradual shift to walking unaided

• After 6 weeks: Most patients walk comfortably on their own

🤸‍♂️ Bending the Knee After Surgery

Getting your range of motion back is a key goal of recovery. With regular physiotherapy:

• You’ll likely regain 90–120 degrees of knee bending within the first 4–6 weeks

• This allows you to sit, drive, or perform routine tasks comfortably

🧗 Climbing Stairs Post-Knee Surgery

Yes, you’ll be able to use stairs again!
Initially, you’ll climb using the “good leg first” technique with railings. By week 4–6, you may be able to manage stairs independently.

⚠️ What to Avoid During Recovery

For long-term success after knee surgery, avoid:

• Squatting or sitting cross-legged

• High-impact activities like running

• Twisting your knee suddenly

• Skipping your rehab sessions
