What exercises can i do?"<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV><strong>Ask a PT Response:</strong> "What did you have done? Are you allowed weight bearing? The type of surgery performed and your precautions will dictate your ability to perform various exercises. </DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Here is a link to for some general exercises: <a href="http://www.uwhealth.org/healthfacts/B_EXTRANET_HEALTH_IN&#070;ORMATI&#079;N-FlexMember-Show_Public_HFFY_1126649479032.html" target="_blank">http://www.uwhealth.org/healthfacts/B_EXTRANET_HEALTH_INFORMATION-FlexMember-Show_Public_HFFY_1126649479032.html</A></DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>It may be a good idea to work with a PT so that a plan of care can be developed tailored to yor specific needs."</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV><strong>Our user responded:</strong> "I had high tibial ostectomy.&nbsp;&nbsp; Oh yea im four months out. Bone has heald great.&nbsp; I ran out of insurance so i cant get s prescription for pt.&nbsp;&nbsp; I had alot of atrophy before surgery. I can tell knee is fixed just weak calf an quad. So it cant support body weight."</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV><strong>Ask a PT Response:</strong> "Here is another link to some basic exercises for knee: <a href="http://www.physioadvisor.com.au/8119350/knee-strengthening-exercises-knee-rehabilitati&#111;n.htm" target="_blank">http://www.physioadvisor.com.au/8119350/knee-strengthening-exercises-knee-rehabilitation.htm</A></DIV><DIV>For calf, standing heel raises and balance exercises (ie. on a disc, bosu ball, etc) are some exercises which I would give my patients."&nbsp;<BR>&nbsp;</DIV>]]>
