The factors determining early mobilization in elderly patients undergoing total knee replacement
Multiple factors influence patients' willingness to mobilize or ambulate earlier. However, more blood pressure reduction impeding early mobilization after TKR should be addressed. Maintaining post-TKR blood pressure without significant decreases is recommended for the successful mobilization after surgery. Early mobilization within 24 h after TKR may be beneficial in reducing the LOS and did not increase risk of falls.
