Hi gang,
not been on in ages as I had a major operation on my kneecap, I had an operation called a roux goldwaith procedure to realign my kneecap. I was in plaster from thigh to ankle for nearly 8 weeks and have been having intensive pysio for the past month....have just started using lightweight ankle weights to stregthen up my muscles and was wondering what else I can do to generally tone up as I cant use my right leg very much at the moment?

marsh, at this point your Dr. and especially your physical therapist should be your guides. After a recent surgery my therapist was an encyclopedia of knowlege regarding modifying exercises so they could be done without harming myself.
