Hip & Knee Surgery Recovery Equipment

Support the healing process with our range of hip and knee surgery recovery equipment

A knee or hip replacement surgery is a significant step towards regaining mobility and improving your quality of life. While the surgery itself is a crucial part of the process, the success of your recovery largely depends on the tools and equipment that support your rehabilitation journey.

Your safety, comfort, and the long-term success of your joint replacement are our top priorities. With this in mind, we offer a range of hip and knee surgery recovery equipment to ensure a safe and effective recovery.

A wide selection of knee and hip replacement recovery equipment

The specific equipment required after a hip or knee surgery can vary depending on your individual needs and your healthcare provider's recommendations.

Here are some commonly recommended items we stock at Active Mobility:

• Crutches: Crutches are commonly used in the early stages of recovery to provide support and stability while walking. They come in various types, including underarm crutches and forearm crutches. Your healthcare provider will help you choose the appropriate type and adjust them to your height.
   

• Walker: A walker offers more stability than crutches and can be a good option if you need extra support. It has four legs with rubber tips and hand grips. Some walkers also have built-in seats for resting during walks. Walkers are suitable for those with balance or weight-bearing issues.
   

• Cane: Canes come in various styles, such as single-point and quad canes, with four tips for added stability. They are used as you recover and need less support than crutches or a walker. A cane helps with balance and reduces the load on your replaced joint.
   

• Wheelchair: A standard wheelchair may be necessary for individuals with limited mobility or those who experience fatigue or discomfort during longer walks. It allows for mobility while seated.
   

• Bedside Commode: Bedside commodes provide a safe and accessible toileting solution for those recovering from surgery, managing mobility issues, or requiring assistance with personal care, all within the comfort and privacy of their own bedroom. This portable chair features a hole or removable bucket beneath the seat, allowing it to function as a portable toilet.
   

• Raised Toilet Seat: A raised toilet seat fits on top of the existing toilet bowl, elevating the seat height. This modification reduces the strain on your hip or knee joints when sitting down or getting up from the toilet.
   

• Shower Chair or Bench: These chairs or benches provide a stable seating option in the shower or bathtub. They help you bathe safely while seated, reducing the risk of slipping and falling.
   

• Grab Bars: Install grab bars in the bathroom and near the bed to provide additional support when standing, sitting, or transferring. They help prevent falls and offer stability during daily activities.
   

• Reaching Tools: Reaching tools, also known as grabbers or reachers, have an extended arm with a gripping mechanism at the end. They allow you to pick up items from the floor or high shelves without bending or stretching, reducing strain on your surgical site.
   

• Physical Therapy Equipment: Your physical therapist may recommend resistance bands for strength exercises during the recovery process.
   

• Pillows and Cushions: Pillows and cushions can provide support and comfort when sitting or sleeping. Wedge-shaped pillows can help with elevation and positioning.
   

• Assistive Devices: These devices, including sock aids, long-handled shoe horns, and dressing sticks, assist with dressing and daily grooming tasks, making them more manageable during recovery.
