Common questions on surgical recovery, chronic disease monitoring, and family caregiving.
When can I start climbing stairs after knee replacement?
Most patients begin supervised stair climbing with their home physiotherapist between Day 5 and Day 10 using the mnemonic: Up with the good leg, down with the operated leg, and crutches stay with the operated leg.
How often should a hypertensive patient check their blood pressure at home?
During medication adjustment, measure twice daily: once in the morning before medication and once in the evening before dinner. Once stable, 2-3 times per week is generally sufficient.
What is the target HbA1c for seniors over 65?
