Orthopedics, Sports Medicine, and Physiotherapy

Post-Surgical Physiotherapy

Rehabilitation following orthopedic surgery is crucial to restore strength, function, and quality of life. This session addresses post-operative care protocols tailored to various procedures, including joint replacements, ACL reconstruction, and spinal surgeries. Topics include early mobilization, progressive strengthening, pain control, and prevention of complications such as stiffness, adhesions, and thrombosis. Emphasis will be placed on developing personalized rehabilitation timelines aligned with surgical techniques and patient comorbidities. Presenters will highlight the role of aquatic therapy, isokinetic training, and functional movement retraining. Advances in rehabilitation robotics, telerehab platforms, and patient monitoring apps will be discussed to improve engagement and outcomes. A multidisciplinary approach involving surgeons, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists is encouraged throughout.
