Primary Steps of recovery from Hip/Knee Surgery
Recognizing post-operative symptoms early and initiating orthopedic rehabilitation care are essential to gain the full benefit of a Hip/Knee Surgical Procedure
An analysis is done to understand the existing condition, assess the risks, and predict a prognosis
Objectives are set based on mutually agreeable goals. The family can closely interact with the physician to drive the care plan
The care plan is driven by a combination of different specialties including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, skilled nursing, medical nutrition, emotional coaching
The care plan is constantly monitored to evaluate the improvement and to rule out any complications
Why is Rehab necessary after hip/knee surgery?
After Hip or knee replacement surgery, considerable therapy is needed to relieve the pain of the surgery itself and to train the leg muscles that bear the weight.
Post Hip or Knee replacement surgeries, there is a chance of post-operative complications. The patient must be kept under constant supervision to check for fluid retention, inflammation, or reddening of skin irritation near the region of the surgery.
The muscles around the area of the surgery often stiffen due to the trauma of the surgery and must be conditioned back to normal function.
After completion of the surgery, the patient must be retrained in simple life skills, for example, climbing the stairs, moving on ramps, dressing up, or using the toilet. These activities require therapy and assistance until the patient becomes self-sufficient.
Starting to walk improperly after surgery can have adverse outcomes in the future. It is important to relearn proper gait when you learn to walk again.

A special diet is often necessary for the optimum recovery following a hip or knee replacement. A trained dietitian at a rehab facility teaches the patients about the importance of healthy and nutritious foods.

After hip or knee replacement surgery, significant therapy is needed to ease the pain of the surgery and to train the muscles of that leg to bear that weight. Muscles often stiffen due to the trauma of the surgery and must be conditioned back to normal life.

Our recovery program helps in retraining the patient in simple self-sufficient skills like learning to climb the stairs, move on ramps, dress up, and use the toilet.
