Vibro plate for exercise after TKR?
Posted , 5 users are following.
I have a 'vibrio plate' - one of my many QVC purchases which has been used as a clothes horse for 2 years - and am wondering if to get rid of it, or will I be able to use it with TKR? (it's like a block you stand on and it vibrates at different speeds, supposedly exercising your muscles more intensely).
I've tried googling but can't find anything at all to answer this.

At my PT there is a piece of equipment that sounds similar. I asked what it was for. The OT told me they use it to help sore muscles....ie after long runs etc. he told me that it will never be for me as I have had bilateral TKR, because the shaking is not good for the cement used in the surgery, mad it could loosen it. If he is correct, I would give away that piece of equipment.
