Knee Arthroplasty: Increasing Range of Motion - An Update

Course overview

With an increasing demand for knee replacement procedures, clinicians require up-to-date information on surgical and rehabilitation techniques. Starting with an overview of the history of knee arthroplasty, this course compares minimally invasive and traditional knee arthroplasty methods, such as mobile-bearing versus fixed-bearing surfaces. Dr. John O Halloran describes the phases of postoperative rehabilitation and range of motion methods, including continuous passive motion and neuromuscular electrical stimulation, using numerous patient demonstration videos. The course finishes with an in-depth discussion of recommendations for return to activity following knee arthroplasty. This course is part of a five-course series on joint arthroplasty
