Nearly 15 percent of patients who undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA, or total knee replacement) experience arthrofibrosis – a post-operative complication where excessive scar tissue formation leads to painful and/or restricted knee motion.1 It is impossible for these patients, and other patients with knee arthrofibrosis, to effectively stretch or passively rotate their own knee without assistance. That’s why they need a device that promotes range of motion and stretch in extension to reduce pain and gain function.

Use for Various Stages of TKA, Rehabilitation, Knee Recovery and Regular Therapy in Virtually Any Setting
Endorsed by world-renowned orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Richard Steadman, founder of the Steadman Hawkins Clinic and Steadman Philippon Research Institute, KneeMD is a knee rehabilitation device which makes it easy for patients to take control of improvements in their range of motion after knee surgery or knee injuries that lead to knee extension deficits.
Using KneeMD, patients can simulate the range of motion and stretch exercises that physical therapists perform during rehabilitation on their own. Physical therapists report using KneeMD on 100% of patients who are recovering from total knee arthroplasty (TKA, or total knee replacement) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery, as well as on other patients with knee extension deficits.
