Certain incidents in life, such as Total Knee Replacement (TKR), knee ligament tears, SLAP tears, shoulder replacement, or Total Hip Replacement (THR), may become unavoidable. While surgeries for these conditions are essential to restore functionality and ensure a smooth life ahead, they often bring challenges and stress. However, with ABTP's comprehensive recovery protocols, you can count on a safe and reliable path to recovery.
Regaining strength and mobility after surgery requires a dedicated and structured approach in the right direction. In this blog post, we will explore how ABTP supports patients in rebuilding their strength and mobility through expert guidance and personalized care or the Post OP Rehab.
Before jumping into the protocol followed at ABTP for getting the patients back to life post a joint replacement surgery, some preventive measures ought to be taken. Let's have a glance of these first!!
Scenes Before the Joint Replacement Surgery at ABTP
If the joint replacement surgery is elective and there is time to prepare for it, then, it is highly recommended to begin pre-operative exercises as soon as possible. A dedicated physiotherapist will design an exercise program tailored to strengthen the affected areas and muscles involved. This preparation significantly aids in faster recovery of strength and mobility post-surgery. BUT HOW?
LET'S ANSWER THIS QUESTION
Muscle Strengthening:
Surgery often leads to temporary muscle atrophy or weakness.
Strengthening muscles beforehand reduces post-operative weakness.
Enhanced Mobility:
Pre-op exercises improve joint range of motion, making it easier to regain mobility after surgery.
Improved Blood Circulation:
Exercises enhance circulation, promoting better healing and reducing risks of complications like blood clots.
Neuromuscular Training:
Preparing the body for post-surgery movement patterns can reduce the adjustment period post-surgery.
This is What Happens Post the Joint Replacement Surgery
Gradual Progressions
Physiotherapy starts slowly with subtle exercise regimes so that strength gets built over time.
Basic exercises are introduced and intensity gets increased as per the patients' comfort levels.
Levelling Up The Challenges
Once the patient gets comfortable with initial exercises, then he is introduced to further challenges like balance training , proprioception training amongst others.
As we move further, resistance and weights are added to enhance muscle strength and joint stability.
ABTP Experts Strike The Balance
ABTP Experts assess your body condition and it's acceptability to move further in training with the help of advanced scientific interventions available and do not push you too hard during rehabilitation.
The Experts then set the limits of physical training to prevent setbacks.
