If a client is cleared for exercise but is recovering from a knee replacement, what might you do to best accommodate this client on the Chair?

Using light to medium resistance and limiting the range of motion is the most appropriate approach for a client recovering from a knee replacement. After such a procedure, individuals often experience sensitivity in the knee and a need for careful rehabilitation. By employing lighter resistance, you ensure that the exercises do not put excessive strain on the healing joint, allowing the client to build strength without risking injury.

Limiting the range of motion is crucial as it helps to avoid any positions or movements that could lead to discomfort or further complications during the recovery phase. This approach focuses on safe and controlled movements, which encourages recovery while still providing an opportunity for the client to work on their strength and stability.

In contrast, increasing range of motion could place undue stress on the knee at this stage of recovery. High-intensity exercises could be too strenuous and may lead to setbacks in rehabilitation. Avoiding the Chair altogether would eliminate a valuable tool for low-impact exercise, which can be adapted appropriately for their needs. Therefore, the strategy of using light to medium resistance while limiting range of motion aligns best with their recovery process.
