Rehabilitation involves the reconstruction of motor function through functional training of affected joints, soft tissues, limbs, and trunk, as well as the application of physical agents such as sound, light, and electricity for therapy. The use of orthotic devices helps maintain motor function, provide protection, and prevent re-injury. The core philosophy of rehabilitation is to improve the patient's quality of life rather than to diagnose or treat diseases, guided by a "patient-centered" approach. For motor impairments, the goal is to restore function where possible, reconstruct function where restoration is not feasible, and utilize assistive devices to substitute for function when reconstruction is not achievable.
Rehabilitation After Joint Replacement
Preoperative rehabilitation education and functional assessment are provided to patients. Postoperatively, a systematic motor function reconstruction training program is implemented based on the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) rehabilitation protocol for joint replacement, accompanied by regular follow-ups and functional evaluations. For patients with poor functional recovery due to various reasons (such as pain, preoperative contractures, delayed rehabilitation, or other factors), individualized training plans are developed according to their specific conditions.
Rehabilitation After Arthroscopic Surgery
This primarily focuses on patients who have undergone surgical ligament reconstruction, providing systematic functional reconstruction training. This includes maintaining joint range of motion, restoring muscle strength, enhancing neuromuscular control, and recovering joint motor function.
Pain Management
Pain management aims to alleviate suffering through training, physical agents, and pharmacological treatment. It addresses three main scenarios: acute pain following anesthesia recovery; pain during postoperative recovery and rehabilitation; and localized pain in patients with musculoskeletal injuries or chronic conditions.
Non-Surgical Treatment for Musculoskeletal Injuries and Orthopedic Chronic Conditions
This includes musculoskeletal injuries such as joint sprains, tennis elbow, and subacromial impingement syndrome, as well as neck, shoulder, lower back, and spinal pain, degenerative joint diseases, and osteoporosis. In addition to treating the injuries and diseases, personalized functional training and physical agent therapy plans are developed based on the injury mechanisms or disease characteristics to address pain and functional impairments.
Thrombosis Prevention and Treatment
Preventive exercises and pharmacological interventions are provided to postoperative and long-term bedridden patients to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis.
Postoperative Patient Follow-Up
Regular follow-ups are conducted for patients after joint replacement surgery, with evaluation results and imaging records archived for ongoing assessment.
