Post fracture rehabilitation

Post Fracture Rehabilitation

Fractures can significantly disrupt daily life, affecting mobility, strength, and overall functionality. Post fracture rehabilitation is a vital component of the recovery process, aiming to restore normal movement, prevent long-term complications, and ensure optimal healing. At our clinic, we offer specialized post-fracture rehabilitation programs tailored to the needs of each patient, focusing on a comprehensive and safe recovery.

Understanding Post Fracture Rehabilitation

After a bone fracture, the immediate focus is immobilization and pain control. However, once the bone starts healing, rehabilitation becomes essential to regain strength, flexibility, and function. Without proper rehabilitation, patients may experience stiffness, muscle weakness, joint contractures, and even re-injury.

Our post-fracture rehab programs are designed to help patients:

• Regain joint range of motion

• Improve muscle strength and endurance

• Restore functional mobility

• Reduce pain and swelling

• Prevent future injuries

Customized Treatment Plans

Every fracture is different – whether it’s a wrist, arm, ankle, hip, or leg – and so is every patient. Our experienced physiotherapists and rehabilitation specialists evaluate the type and severity of the fracture, the method of treatment (surgical or non-surgical), and the patient’s overall health condition to create a personalized rehabilitation plan.

The treatment process usually involves:

1. Initial Assessment: To evaluate pain, movement limitations, muscle strength, and functional impairments.

2. Goal Setting: Establish short-term and long-term goals in consultation with the patient and physician.

3. Progressive Therapy: Starting with gentle passive movements and progressing to active exercises, strength training, and functional activities.

Techniques Used in Rehabilitation

• Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to mobilize joints and soft tissues.

• Therapeutic Exercises: Targeted routines to enhance strength, flexibility, and coordination.

• Electrical Stimulation (TENS/EMS): To reduce pain and activate weakened muscles.

• Ultrasound Therapy: For deep tissue healing and inflammation reduction.

• Balance and Gait Training: Especially important for lower limb fractures.

• Activity Simulation: Training to safely resume daily tasks or occupational duties.

Benefits of Early Rehabilitation

Starting rehabilitation as early as possible – as recommended by your orthopedic surgeon – can significantly improve outcomes. It not only speeds up recovery but also reduces the risk of complications like joint stiffness, muscle atrophy, and impaired coordination.

Who Can Benefit?

Our post-fracture rehabilitation services are suitable for:

• Individuals recovering from upper or lower limb fractures

• Patients who have undergone surgical fixation or cast removal

• Elderly patients at risk of complications due to prolonged immobility

• Athletes or active individuals aiming to return to their sport safely
