Can you suggest exercises to strengthen knee after surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quad strengthening: exercises are KEY!! Leg lifts, quad contractions, and light weight on a leg press machine to start. work up to higher weights gradually. Biking, treadmill and rowing can all help build your quads.
