Most patients are able to walk with the help of a cane within six weeks after surgery. You should also be able to drive a car within six to eight weeks after surgery. After fully recovering from total knee replacement surgery some restrictions may still apply. Normal, low-impact activities like walking, swimming, dancing, golf and bicycling are all appropriate. It is important to continue to work on your range of motion in the knee and to strengthen your hamstrings and quadriceps.
