After a patient undergoes a knee replacement, where on the body should ROM exercises be performed?


After a patient undergoes a knee replacement, where on the body should ROM exercises be performed?I am to perform a skit tomorrow for my teacher in my medical class.

The scenario is to assist a patient in ROM exercises after a woman has just had a knee replacement.

Because ROM is for the patient who is immobilized to be able to exercise while in bed, correct?

So should I do the ROM exercises only at the knee that was operated on. Or should I perform it on the entire body, including each joint?
