Hi folks I'm Bob Shrupp, physical therapis.t Brad Heineck, physical therapist,
and together weare the most famous physical therapists on the Internet. In ouropinion of
course. Brad, we want to do just a short video on, we have a real live patient who
had knee replacement done. She actually works for us. Sure. She's a physical
therapist assistant, and we thought we wanted to show how well the knee glide
works we, we invented this, we created it, and we're kind of proud of it. Right. And
in this instance it's worked really well, so we'll just cut to the. Well, yeah we've
used this for the last five years, as a prototypes, and not only in this instance, but
I can even tell you it works good in 95% of knees. Yeah, I mean I told this story
before Brad, we had a patient that came in and we had seen her before we had the
knee glide and we could not get her past 70. Mm-hmm. And eventually by using
the knee glide we got her past 90, so she could have knee replacement done,
because they didn't want to do it unless she got past 90. It just makes that range
of motion so much easier. You can help with it better. It's just a It's a
wonderful tool. So we've just got a couple clips here with Rosey,
so, thanks. Okay I'm here with Rosey. Rosey just had surgery on Tuesday ,and it's
Thursday, so it's just two days. Doing really quite well, Rosey. She had the other
one done, didn't go as well ,so. You can talk, but they may not hear you very well,
but, anyway, we're showing a difference here, so again, she's actually wearing a
knee brace too, but ,we're actually having to start with a towel and we're gonna
show the difference how the knee glide works a lot better on, on he.r so we're
gonna go ahead and put that in place, because she can do that the floor scrub's
here ,but with the knee glide you liked it flat didn't you? Yeah, so, It's kind
of funny, watching Rosey not talk. There's a spider there. Okay, all right, now it's a
lot easier for her to start working on the knee bend and then what she
can do ,is she can take the other leg and cross it over, and look at that, she
can really get some bend now. The other thing that's nice about this, as a
therapist, it's really, really easy to take a
measurement. You can use both hands like this, and then she can even push with
their leg further, and now we can get a really good measurement with the
goniometer, so. You can actually use this for straightening too. Yeah she can work on
on the straightening and we can actually flip it up like this, and she can work on that
extension there. Trying to work it straight so. All right, we'll keep we'll
keep progress on Rosey, we'll see how she's doing in a couple days,so thanks a
lot. Okay we're back here with Rosie I'm still in my workout clothes here too - so are
you Brad.Yeah, that's the way it works. Rosey's been doing remarkably well you can see a little
bruising here ye,t from your surgery, but, it's been one week now, since the surgery
one week today. Correct Rosey? Yup. And she's made really good gains. She's been using
the knee glide. Why don't you go ahead and go back and forth a little bit Rosey, and as we
mentioned before, what's nice about the knee glide is one, she can take her other
foot, and push back like this, and look at this. Wow. So, she's getting a good range
already, here, so as I measure. I don't know, am I in the way Brad? Oh, we're over 90 Bob.
Yeah, I think we are, are we? Yep. Give her a little more Rosey. That's stretching.
she's making a face. It's probably far enough. So,we got 96 - 97. I guess I'm gonna warn
people, that don't expect to be doing this well, one week later. I mean that this is
really. Right. Because, you know, it's 'probably in the top five percentile, here, I'd say. She had her
other knee done how many years ago? Six years ago and that one was a little more
stubborn. Yeah, but that one she had a lot more trouble with. How straight are we
going on this one here? So, and you said you were down to about three degrees on
that one? Little more, right now, maybe with a little stretch, we can get down to that.
Sure. That's all. Alright. Nice job Rosey. Have you done it, with the stilt up once?
Yeah. see if we can. If going downhill helps a little bit. Yeah. Look at that.
There you go. Wow. Just a little change in mechanics. Yup.
She's gonna be able to be dancing here, pretty soon. There you go.
Alright. Thanks everybody.
