HI, would this work after knee replacement? Thanks

I can not see why it wouldn't work after knee replacement. I am not a medical doctor but I do enjoy having this available for traveling and in situations where furniture is extremely low. I do recommend that you be careful when first using it as it may move faster then you expect.

I don't see why not. It assists getting you up out of the chair. It was perfect for me when I was very weak when I started chemo.

Yes, this is when I got and started to use this seat - after double knee replacements. I take it with me to doctor's office, church pews, - just get a good chair with arms to sit in and set it at the appropriate weight. You might have to play with the weight adjustments, as the higher the weight, the higher it pushes you up..Its not comfortable to sit on every day, but works well when you go out...The one I use is 5 years old, and the more you use it setting it up and closing it, the easier it is to bend and open up.

Yes, I had a fractured femur. Surgery was performed to insert a rod in my thigh. The area of the surgery was located at my knee. This seat made it possible to get in and out of a chair or wheel chair without putting pressure on the leg where the surgery was performed.

Sorry you had that experience. My dog (Golden Retriever) loves these and waits for his every morning. I started my golden on these after his second surgery for ACL. I can tell you they really work because my boy had surgery on his right knee 4 years ago and then his left knee about 6 mos ago. At the time of the first xray after the second surgery my vet commented on how much more the right knee had healed than the left at the 1st x-ray after that surgery. If I had to do it all over again I would start my pets on these right from the start of ownership. Maybe you should contact your vet.

Most likely it would work. It can be placed for easy access, so you don't have to reach near any moving parts. It could be activated by knee, hip, etc. And it can be moved to other tools.

I would think so although I have never used it for my knee, it helps a great deal with my shoulder, hip and back.

YES! Something in it is really helping me. My knee pain is gone and they used to ache all the time. I took chondroitin and glucosamine, which is what my orthopedics doctors recommended, for years and it does nothing. It won't hurt to try it.

Not sure,but I do know that the Move Free really helps me. I am 74 have had knee surgery and have arthritus and Move Free makes my life much easier. Hope it works for you too.

Just put it away but I would call Medline who makes it and they can tell you, it was a great help for a knee replacement.

I did lose weight when I used this, but only because I cut down eatting. I used this mainly before and after knee surgery. I ortho recommended it. I continue to use it on a daily basis for care of my knees.

I believe it would be good for that. However, it depends on how severe your condition is. I have found that it keeps things in place very well and comfortably, and it kept my knee from hurting during physical activity. Also if you wear it during physical activity it will significantly reduce the chances of getting water on the knee, and n last a lot longer without fatigue or pain. If you find that you need to wear it all of the time, I would recommend seeing a doctor.

I have a partial knee replacement on the left knee, and at first I didn't have any issues using the table. My orthopedic surgeon, however, is concerned that the weight on the knee would put too much stress on the appliance. There is no knee strap or way to limit the pull from the thighs upward, at least not with my table. That isn't to say that there isn't something out there to solve the issue, as I will also eventually have both knees done. The chair piece actually flattens as you tilt back, so there would need to be a place to secure the lower legs that can adjust as the tilt flattens out the table.

My wife had a knee replacement two months ago and used it very day for the first couple of weeks and occasionally since. It can be fitted to some extent. She used it with her leg extended and it wrapped around the knee just fine. You'll like it. We also use it for backaches and anything that needs cold therapy. The white side is super cold. We usually place the blue side to the skin initially, then when it seems most of the cold has dissipated, we flip it over to the white side for another dose of cold.

I agree with the other answers. Depends on where the wounds are. Sounds like something under the knee might work better. You should talk to a physical therapist or your doctor for advice.

I've never used it for the knee, but it might provide some support for the back of the knee.

Yes it would. My wife had a hip replacement and her friend had a knee replacement. They both had the same physical therapist at the same hospital and later at home. They both bought and used the medical pedal exerciser and it really helped them both to a complete recovery. The price is cheap, but the construction is good.

I would think it would be very helpful for a hip. It was a wonderful help for my knee!

Hello,Thank you for your interest! We strongly suggest that you get a physician's opinion and recommendation based off your diagnosis. However, I can definitely let you know what knee supports are recommended for post op support: Bauerfeind Genutrain P3 Knee and the Reaction Knee Brace. Both knee braces provide more support to the ligaments and knee.MMAR Sports Medicine

Yes, but not real flexible if it has been in the freezer for a long time. My wife had knee surgery and we have been using the pack on it. While it can be bent around the knee easily, it is not real flexible. Lately we only leave it in the freezer for about 12 - 15 hours and it stays more flexible.
