Knee weakness following TKR

John: Thank you for your reply. I also did pre- and -post op exercises faithfully. I have full flexibility and extension and no pain in the replaced knee- just weakness that impairs my walking. My Ortho says the weakness is not from the surgery, but I’ve read nerve damage can be a side affect of surgery in about 10% of TKR. Hence the reason for the EMG.

Did your Ortho mention any type of PT that might help? Just curious as I saw this YouTube video that describes the problem and thought it might be worth a look.
