Joint Replacement Programme
Joint Replacement Programme
Patients with joint replacement surgery need a comprehensive rehabilitation programme that guides them back to normal life. The goal of our rehabilitation programme is to
• Prevent bedrest associated risks, e.g. Deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, pressure ulcers
• Improve joint mobility
• Improve muscle strength and endurance
• Restore functional independence, including walking with a normal gait pattern and activities of daily living
• Improve quality of life
- Progressive loading capabilities to allow protected weight bearing
- Regain range of motion faster
- Shorten the duration of rehabilitation period
- Reduce post-operative pain and swelling
- Prevent joint stiffness
- Maintain and increase Range of Motion (ROM)
- Prevent intra-articular adhesions (scar tissue) and extra-articular contractures (shortening of a muscle or tendon)
- Swelling control
- Multi chambered sleeve provides a continuous graded compression on the extremity
