I wonder how many here have found the WII Fit Plus a useful aid in TKR recovery. As it' s winter in Australia and coming from the Snowy Mountains region, finding an adequate indoor exercise to replace walking and assist quad strength can be difficult. But I must say, after making use of the WII fit plus these past weeks, I have noticed considerable improvement in strength and balance. Adding the balance and strength programme to my existing workout ( stationary bike, step ups, squats and stretches) I have gone ahead in leaps and bounds. At six months post tkr I feel almost normal again. I say "almost" as having limped for the best part of ten years Im not sure what normal is. I do know I have not felt this good in a long time. So pleased I had this done. The good thing about the WII Fit is not realising just how much you are actually using your knees and surrounding muscles. Anyone else found it to be useful???
That is absolutely brilliant Sue, great idea!! Well done on your progress!
I have not tried it as part of my exercise program. Sounds like a great idea and I may just pull it out. It's summer here but it is so hot outside that if I don't get out early it's just too miserable. Thanks for the suggestion, Sue!
I'll be interested to know your opinion mommermom. It was only through a visit from the grandchildren that I happened on to the idea. Like you, mine had been tucked away-the grandkids love it. Now-so do I!!
