A member asked:

What kind of physical rehab would be good for a leg that has had bypass due to a popliteal aneurysm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Use it!: In general, return to regular daily activity is the best rehab for fem-pop bypass patients. Attention to range of motion is important to avoid contracture, and elevation to relieve leg swelling will be very helpful.
