Stephen's Story
It was all about preparation. Stephen spent a few weeks preparing for his total knee replacement surgery in Michigan. That time was well spent. Strength in his hamstring, quadriceps, and calf muscles put him in a much better position going into his surgery. He would be much better able to deal with the threat of muscle atrophy with some strategic strengthening. And Stephen's work on range of motion also helped him post-surgery as pre-surgery ROM is predictive of what one face's after the operation.













The X10 Knee Recovery System is used every day to prepare knee replacement patients for their upcoming surgeries. In some cases it is covered by insurance, but it is available to all who want to make their recovery from knee replacement quick and easy.

Prehab Pays Off
Pre-habilitation involves preparatory exercises and stretches done before surgery. Pre-hab before knee surgery is now recommended for most knee replacement patients.
Why is it Important?
Pre-hab before knee surgery (in particular knee replacement) is particularly important because the average knee replacement patient has been losing strength for more than seven years resulting in leg muscle atrophy.
