Post Operative Rehabilitation
Post-operative rehabilitation is crucial for optimizing recovery, restoring function, and promoting independence following surgical procedures. Here’s a list of post-operative conditions commonly addressed through physiotherapy rehabilitation:
- Total Joint Replacement
- Spinal Surgery
- Orthopedic Fracture Repair
- Rotator Cuff Repair
- ACL Reconstruction
- Meniscus Repair
- Arthroscopic Surgery
- Total Joint Replacement (e.g., Total Knee Replacement, Total Hip Replacement): Physiotherapy plays a key role in post-operative rehabilitation after joint replacement surgery by promoting joint mobility, muscle strength, and functional independence, managing pain and swelling, and facilitating a safe return to activities of daily living and recreational pursuits.
- Spinal Surgery (e.g., Spinal Fusion, Discectomy): Physiotherapy rehabilitation post-spinal surgery focuses on improving spinal mobility, core stability, and posture, reducing pain and muscle spasms, preventing complications such as spinal stiffness and weakness, and promoting gradual return to normal activities and functional mobility.
- Orthopedic Fracture Repair (e.g., Open Reduction Internal Fixation): Physiotherapy aims to promote bone healing, restore joint mobility and muscle strength, prevent stiffness and contractures, and facilitate functional recovery after orthopedic fracture repair surgery through progressive rehabilitation exercises, manual therapy, and weight-bearing progression.
- Rotator Cuff Repair: Physiotherapy rehabilitation post-rotator cuff repair surgery focuses on protecting the repaired tissues, restoring shoulder range of motion and strength, improving scapular stability and posture, and facilitating a safe return to activities requiring overhead motion and shoulder function.
- ACL Reconstruction: Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in ACL reconstruction rehabilitation by promoting graft healing, restoring knee range of motion and muscle strength, improving neuromuscular control and proprioception, and facilitating a gradual return to sports and physical activities with reduced risk of re-injury.
- Meniscus Repair: Physiotherapy aims to protect the repaired meniscus, restore knee range of motion and strength, improve joint stability and proprioception, and facilitate a safe return to activities and sports participation following meniscus repair surgery through structured rehabilitation programs and activity modification.
- Arthroscopic Surgery (e.g., Knee Arthroscopy, Shoulder Arthroscopy): Physiotherapy plays a role in post-arthroscopic surgery rehabilitation by reducing pain and inflammation, improving joint mobility and muscle strength, addressing biomechanical imbalances, and promoting a gradual return to normal activities and sports participation.
