Episode 72: Walking Better But Still Weak After Knee Replacement (Why Strength and Walking Ability Improve at Different Rates)
Description
Episode 72 explains why walking ability and strength often improve on different timelines after total knee replacement. Michelle discusses why walking can improve through reduced pain, better rhythm, and compensation before the quadriceps has fully rebuilt strength, endurance, and control. The Episode helps listeners understand why stairs, sit-to-stands, fatigue, and longer outings may still feel difficult even when walking is improving, and how to interpret those experiences with more confidence and direction. Listeners will leave with a clearer way to interpret progress and take a more active role in rebuilding strength and function.
