- Arthritis conditions
Orthopaedic rehabilitation allows you to you recover from just about any type of wound, injury, physical impairment, or deformity and helps prevent future injuries and pain.
What happens during orthopaedic rehabilitation?
A physical therapy evaluation is the first step in orthopaedic rehabilitation. Your therapist performs tests and measurements that offer information about the status of your injury and functional independence.
They may complete motor or muscle function examinations and analyze your gait, balance, neuromotor development, and endurance capacity.
During treatment, licensed physical therapists at Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Centers might utilize:
- Aerobic conditioning and other therapeutic exercises
- Functional training
- Joint mobilization
- Massage
- Myofascial release
- Soft tissue mobilization
- Debridement and wound care
- Traction
- Electrotherapeutic, mechanical, and thermal modalities
They may recommend using assistive devices, such as canes, crutches, braces, or orthoses. Your therapist personalizes each orthopaedic rehabilitation treatment plan to meet your unique needs and makes changes as needed to optimize results.
