What exercises and tools aid mobility in joint recovery? How can assistive devices help maintain independence safely?

Effective techniques for  rehabilitative health services improving mobility after joint surgery include physical therapy, gentle stretching, and strengthening exercises. Early on, mobility exercises like ankle pumps or heel slides help improve circulation and prevent stiffness. As healing progresses, focused rehabilitation exercises targeting the affected joint can increase range of motion and strength. Low-impact activities such as swimming or cycling are beneficial for joint mobility. Assistive devices like crutches or walkers may be used initially, gradually transitioning to walking without assistance. Consistent follow-up with a physical therapist ensures exercises are done correctly and progress is made safely.
