Strength training: Increasing the strength of your lower extremity muscles including your glutes, quads, and hamstrings, will provide stability to the knee to following an arthroscopic surgery. We also believe building a solid foundation through your trunk muscles is essential for knee stability with functional activities, sport, and exercise. Squats, dead lifts, lunges, leg press, and planks are ideal exercises.

Arthroscopic Surgery: Is used for many reasons. If you simply had a knee scope and menisectomy you should focus on quad strengthening exercises like leg lifts and straight leg raises. If you are concerned otherwise either ask your doc or ask to be referred to a physical therapist.
