Multidisciplinary care before and after surgery… for readiness at every level
When patients decide to undergo knee replacement surgery, in addition to receiving detailed information from doctors and advice from the nursing team, physical therapists play a key role in caring for the patient’s body.
- Preparation before surgery Physical therapists will assess the patient’s physical fitness to evaluate the condition of various muscles, estimate the recovery time after surgery, and help prepare the patient’s body before surgery. This includes teaching proper breathing techniques after surgery, advising on muscle stimulation to strengthen weak areas for readiness, recommending physical therapy methods to increase leg muscle strength, and providing physical therapy to reduce pain in affected areas such as the back and shoulders. For all our surgeries, patients gain understanding of their physical condition and have a clear idea of the recovery period after surgery.
- Postoperative body care for recovery In addition to care from doctors and the inpatient nursing team, physical therapists will provide individualized physical therapy within 24 hours. They will start training standing and walking with support devices and adjust as appropriate to help the patient recover quickly and fully after surgery.
