Not happy with your Knee Replacement at 3 months, might be a strength issue

Studies and clinical experience show that it takes a long time to develop strength after a total knee replacement.

So don't give up on your exercises too soon.

We found moderate certainty evidence that deficits in muscle strength of the knee extensors persist and progress until 3 months post-total knee arthroplasty in patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis.”

Exercise to Help Your Nerves

Now, MIT engineers have found that exercise can also have benefits at the level of individual neurons. They observed that when muscles contract during exercise, they release a soup of biochemical signals called myokines. In the presence of these muscle-generated signals, neurons grew four times farther compared to neurons that were not exposed to myokines. These cellular-level experiments suggest that exercise can have a significant biochemical effect on nerve growth.”
