Please address her sitting environment. For all her sitting and sit to stand needs, make an environment from where she can get up easily. The weak muscles of the thigh seem to have become very stiff due to overwork of repeated sit to stand from unfavourable heights.

It’s a postoperative painful stiff knee. If infection is ruled out for sure then she must strengthen her quadriceps ,hamstrings and calf to increase range of movement. She needs physiotherapist for this but only after getting consult with Orthopaedic surgeon.
