The Role Of Physiotherapy In Rehabilitation After Orthopedic Surgery. An Update

Abstract

This paper explores the critical role of physiotherapy in the comprehensive rehabilitation process following orthopedic surgery. Orthopedic surgeries aim to address musculoskeletal conditions, yet effective post-operative rehabilitation is crucial for optimizing outcomes. This abstract outlines the key phases of physiotherapy intervention, including pre-operative preparation, early post-operative care, intermediate rehabilitation, and advanced rehabilitation. Key components of physiotherapy intervention encompass pain management, mobilization, range of motion exercises, strengthening, functional training, manual therapy, balance training, and patient education. By tailoring rehabilitation programs to individual needs and utilizing evidence-based practices, physiotherapists facilitate recovery, enhance functional outcomes, and reduce the risk of complications.
