Exercises for recovery after meniscus injury surgery include straight leg raise, knee flexion and extension exercises, but rehab under doctor’s supervision.
After meniscus injury surgery can be started six hours after surgery. Active ankle training and isometric contraction of quadriceps can be performed after six hours after surgery. On the third day after surgery, you can perform slow walking with a fixed support and resume independent walking.
On the 5th day, straight leg elevation training can be performed. two weeks after the operation, knee flexion and extension without weight bearing can be practiced, and weight bearing exercises can be gradually increased. 3 weeks later, normal walking can be practiced.
If the meniscus repair surgery, due to the fixation needs 4 to 6 weeks, during which you can carry out the quadriceps static contraction exercises, after the removal of the strengthening of the knee joint activity exercise, after 8 to 10 weeks can be fully weight-bearing. Weight-bearing and other rehabilitation training needs to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor to avoid injury.
