Procedure Overview
Initial Assessment: The orthopedic rehabilitation process begins with a thorough
evaluation by a healthcare professional, typically an orthopedic surgeon or physical therapist. The
assessment may include medical history review, physical examination, diagnostic tests (such as
X-rays or MRI), and functional assessments to determine the extent of the musculoskeletal injury or
condition and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Treatment Planning: Based on the assessment findings, a personalized orthopedic
rehabilitation program is developed to address the patient's specific needs, goals, and functional
limitations. The treatment plan may include a combination of exercises, manual therapies, modalities
(such as heat or cold therapy), assistive devices, and education on injury prevention and
self-management techniques.
Rehabilitation Interventions: Orthopedic rehabilitation interventions focus on
restoring musculoskeletal function and mobility through various modalities, including therapeutic
exercises, manual therapy, modalities, and functional training. Patients undergo progressive
rehabilitation exercises and activities to improve strength, flexibility, joint mobility, balance,
coordination, and functional abilities.
Progress Monitoring: Throughout the rehabilitation process, patients are closely
monitored and reassessed to track progress, modify treatment plans as needed, and ensure optimal
outcomes. Adjustments to the rehabilitation program may be made based on the patient's response to
treatment, functional improvements, and goals.
