Jogging after knee replacement07/20/2009 |
why is jogging aftera paritalknee replacement not recommended. Is not the joint stable enough to withstand the pressure?
Most typically after joint replacement, whether partial or total, jogging/running is not recommended because of the stress to the joint and structures in and around the area. If you are interested in resuming some sort of exercise plan, I would recommend a follow-up visit to your physician so he can review with you an appropriate exercise plan based on your surgery and the goals you have for physical fitness. Good luck!
