New Book - "Total Knee Replacement & Rehabilitation" -- Posted by HealthPub on 01-27-05 16:33
Hi,
I hope it's ok to post here - this post should be very on-topic.
A book was just published (11/04) that people with knee issues here may
find helpful. It is called "Total Knee Replacement & Rehabilitation:
The Knee Owner's Manual," by Daniel Brugioni, M.D. and Jeff Falkel,
Ph.D., P.T., CSCS. (ISBN: 0-89793-439-3)
According to a 5-star review on About.com/Arthritis that just posted
yesterday (Jan. 26), this book:
-Explains total joint replacement thoroughly and understandably
-Is written by experts with professional and personal experience
-Empowers patients by showing them their responsibility for successful
surgery
-Is a quick and easy reference, pre-op and post-op
-Anticipates questions a patient may have and offers the answers
(Review on About.com/Arthritis:
http://arthritis.about.com/od/knee/gr/totalknee%20.htm)
The co-authors are a knee surgeon and a physical therapist. Both have
been orthopedic patients as well as pratitioners. Dr. Falkel had TKAs
in both knees in 1990, and has gone on to full mobility and an active
lifestyle.
The book is widely available in stores or online, or direct from the
publisher. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions
(www.hunterhouse.com).
Thanks, good luck with your knees, and all best,
Hunter House Publishers

Hip replacement limitations (9 posts)
by kami17@gmail.com - Last post on: 05-09-05 15:25
I'm a candidate for left hip replacement, evidently I don't have much
cartilage left there (osteoarthritis).
But I am a fairly active person, and to tell the truth, my biggest fear
is the limitation of not being able to do all my yoga.
Does anyone know specifics about this? And any other limita... (Read More)
