Degenerative arthritis – Step 3

Rehabilitation starts with the exercises in Step 1. When the exercises can be performed without pain, rehabilitation starts on the next step.

How often and for how long should I train? Training frequency and duration are individual. Start with about 3 repetitions per workout. exercise and at least 3 times a week. Slowly increase the number of repetitions and load without exceeding the pain threshold

Do I have to do the whole program every time? No, you can divide the exercises into different days. The most important thing is to exercise regularly and gradually increase the intensity

Stretching

20 minutes of each training session

Lie on your back. Hold the back of the knee with both hands. Pull the training leg up towards your head so that the back thigh is increasingly stretched. Perform the exercise with both straight and bent knees. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Then do the same exercise on the opposite leg.

Stå ved at krydse træningsbenet strakt ind bagved støttebenet samtidig med, du bøjer dig ud til siden ud over træningsbenet, så der kommer tiltagende udspænding af ydersiden af låret. Hold udspændingen i 20 sekunder. Gentag øvelse skiftevis på højre og venstre ben

Lie on your back with one leg straight. Bend the other leg and place your foot on the other side of the stretched leg. With both hands, pull your knee up towards the opposite shoulder so that the buttocks are increasingly stretched. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the opposite leg.

Stand with your legs spread apart. One leg straight and the other slightly bent. Shift your weight to the side on the bent leg so that there is an increasing stretch on the inside of the opposite thigh. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the opposite leg.

Sit with your knees bent and the soles of your feet facing each other. Place your hands on both knees and slowly push your knees apart to increase the tension in your groin. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Relax for 20 seconds.

Hold balancen på to ben på vippebrættet. Støt i starten med hånden mod væggen. Senere holdes balancen på ét ben uden støtte. Prøv senere at holde balancen med lukkede øjne.

“The runner”. Stand on the training leg with your knee straight. Bend your body forwards 90 degrees and lift your healthy leg straight backwards and the opposite arm straight forwards. Keep your balance on the training leg for as long as possible. Initially, support yourself with a hand on the wall. When you feel confident, you can make the exercise more difficult by closing your eyes.

Strength

35 minutes of each training session

Fastgør en træningselastik i ankelhøjde bag dig. Sid på stol med ryggen mod træningselastikken. Træningselastikken føres om skinnebenet lige over fodleddet. Stræk langsomt knæet, så træningselastikken strammes. Hold spændingen i få sekunder og bøj langsomt knæet igen

Fastgør en træningselastik 10 cm over gulvhøjde. Stå med ansigtet mod træningselastikken. Før elastikken om træningsbenet mellem knæ og ankel (jo længere nede jo kraftigere er belastningen). Før langsomt benet tilbage, så elastikken strammes. Hold spændingen i få sekunder og før langsomt benet frem til udgangspositionen.

Fastgør en træningselastik 10 cm over gulvhøjde. Stå med siden mod træningselastikken med træningsbenet tættest på elastikken. Før elastikken om træningsbenet. Placer elastikken mellem knæ og ankel (jo længere nede jo kraftigere er belastningen). Før langsomt benet til siden (ind foran støttebenet), så elastikken strammes.
