1. Straight Leg Lifts

This exercise helps strengthen the quadriceps muscle in your thigh and improves the stability of your knee joint. The stronger your quads the more control you will have over your artificial knee. Lie on your back with your legs fully extended. Lift your leg about six inches and hold for 10 seconds.[29]

2. Ankle Pumps

While lying flat on your back, bend both ankles up and point your toes toward you. Then bend your ankles down and point your toes away from you. As you do this, rotate your foot clockwise and then counterclockwise, keeping your toes pointed toward the ceiling. This exercise helps to circulate blood back to the heart in order to reduce swelling and reduce the risk of developing a DVT (deep vein thrombosis--a blood clot that can be dangerous).[30]
