Anterior Total Hip Replacement Rehab Protocol
This guide is based on Dr John Limbers’ anterior total hip replacement protocol, prepared in collaboration with Stan Priestley of Beach View Physiotherapy, Avoca. It describes a general pathway for the first six weeks after surgery.
Partial Knee Replacement Rehab Protocol
Rehabilitation after Mako partial knee replacement follows the same broad early principles as total knee replacement, but recovery progresses more quickly. The program should still be adjusted for pain, swelling, wound healing, quadriceps control and individual function.
Total Knee Replacement Rehab Protocol
This guide is based on Dr John Limbers’ total knee replacement protocol, prepared in collaboration with Joshua White of Gosford Private Hospital. Exercises may be progressed or reduced by your treating physiotherapist according to your recovery.
