Weeks 7 and 8:
During this time, you have probably achieved a range of motion of 100 degrees with your knee, and now rehabilitation will focus on building something called functional mobility. In other words, we are now putting into practice the new skills and mobility improvements achieved in previous weeks.
Therapists will focus on proprioception and balance. In simple terms, now your muscles need to learn how to interact with the brain to keep your movements smooth and prevent falls. Report any type of pain because it shouldn’t be present by now, and do as instructed by your physical therapist to complete your rehab.
