Thanks for this timely article. I'm a 56y.o. female scheduled for TKR on the right side in mid August. It is somewhat complicated by the bed to remove a very large cyst (3+inches long x 1.5" diameter, with an "arm" that extends over into the lateral joint/nerve space).
The cyst has greatly reduced my ROM, causing squats to take on somewhat of a rotational aspect, and subsequent loading of the left side. Left knee was scoped 3wks ago to repair a badly torn meniscus too.
I'm looking to restart lifting prior to the TKR to regain some strength, but due to the ROM restrictions, can't squat to parallel. I have no access to a public gym, but do have a well set up barbell home gym. Any suggestions?
