Knee osteoarthritis can progress so far that therapy is not able to alleviate the symptoms (e.g. pain) and a joint replacement is the only solution. Even though this operation is virtually routine today, it is still a major intervention. After a knee operation with the implantation of an artificial joint, careful knee rehabilitation is essential for the prosthesis to last as long as possible. Gait, coordination and strength training, and improving mobility are just some therapy focal points. Avoiding an impact that could damage the new joint is of particular importance.
The kybun mat and kybun shoes are ideal for rehabilitating the knee after an operation – all this without expending any additional time in physical therapy. Acute pain is alleviated quickly and, thanks to the gentle load on the knee joints due to the soft, elastic material, the sensitive knee is protected against impact allowing the muscle tissue to develop gradually without overloading the operated knee.
The soft, elastic foam material acts as a ‘crumple zone’, effectively dampening the impact on the joints during running and walking. As a result, swelling from a recent knee operation is more readily alleviated and healing is promoted (gentle mobilization of the knee joint, improved circulation, reduced swelling).
