YOu're gonna need more thatn forms for a business like that. YOu better know all about insurance and Medicare billing which is a very complicated subject.

Sean Said:

What is the difference from at home physical therapy and going to the dr's office?

We Answered:

PT are trained on what to do and progress you. You go to PT and they will teach you what to do. I have a Doctorate degree and they -the personal trainer-have a weekend certification

Christina Said:

Does anyone know any good at home physical therapy that can be done on a LCL tear?

We Answered:

First, if you have pain and inflammation (indicated by swelling, redness, and warmth) you need to utilize RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) and possibly see a doctor if it does not resolve.

Strengthening exercises:
Straight Leg Raises - Lie on you back and tighten the quadriceps (anterior thigh muscle). Raise leg 6-8 inches off the floor. Keep your knee straight.
Repeat leg raises while lying on the involved side (hip adduction) and on your stomach (hip extension). Initially you want to avoid hip abduction (lying on uninvolved side) because that may increase the strain on the LCL.

Other exercises:
Mini-squats or wall squats
Single Leg Stance (balance with knee slightly bent for 30 seconds)
Leg extensions and curls
Leg Press

It would be beneficial to actually visit a physical therapist to get a proper home exercise program, as I have only limited information about your condition.

Glenn Said:

how long would a person be in the nursing home getting physical therapy and recovering from full knee replacem?

We Answered:

Typically, it is no more than two weeks. However, it will depend on a multitude of factors including: home environment and social support. Someone who lives alone in the third floor condo is going to need more inpatient treatment than someone who lives in a ranch house with a supportive spouse.

...the 400# will likely add to the stay, but even as such, I'd so no more than 3-4 weeks.

...after that, they usually go to outpatient
