Certain physical activity restrictions are suggested following robotic knee replacement surgery to ensure proper healing and implant longevity.
In the initial weeks, patients are advised to avoid high-impact or strenuous activities. Weight-bearing is typically allowed with assistance (e.g., walker or crutches) and gradually increased based on clinical assessment.
Most patients can resume low-impact activities such as walking, cycling, and swimming within 6 to 12 weeks, depending on recovery progress. Physical therapy is a critical component during this phase to restore strength, range of motion, and joint stability.
High-impact sports or activities that involve jumping, running, or sudden twisting are generally not recommended, as they may accelerate implant wear or increase the risk of complications.
Long-term restrictions may vary depending on age, overall health, bone quality, and the type of implant used. Periodic follow-ups with the orthopedic surgeon such as Dr. Biren Nadkarni help assess function and ensure adherence to safe activity levels.
