    When to avoid this exercise

  • Double total knee replacement (TKR) surgery is a major procedure that involves replacing both knees with artificial joints. As with any surgery, there are risks and potential complications that can arise. Therefore, it is important to avoid certain exercises during the recovery process to prevent further injury or damage to the knees. It is recommended to avoid any high-impact activities, such as running or jumping, for at least 6-12 months after double TKR surgery. These activities can put excessive strain on the new knee joints and may cause them to wear out prematurely. It is also important to avoid twisting or pivoting movements, as these can also put stress on the new joints. Additionally, it is important to avoid exercises that cause excessive bending or straightening of the knees, as this can put strain on the incision site and hinder the healing process. It is best to consult with a physical therapist or surgeon for a personalized exercise plan that takes into account your specific recovery needs and limitations.
