	A knee arthroscopy is a common procedure designed to relieve knee pain. The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine reports that more than four million knee arthroscopies are performed worldwide each year. One of the most important keys to a successful experience with knee arthroscopy is an understanding of exercises to perform during recovery. Exercises after knee arthroscopy are critical to regaining strength and function, ultimately allowing for a return to normal activities. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, or AAOS, lists several exercises to assist with recovery after knee arthroscopy.
