What Are the Causes of Nocturia and Adult Nocturnal Enuresis?
Hello.... The foundation of rehabilitation therapy after orthopedic surgery is the restoration of joint range of motion. Patients often hesitate to perform joint exercises due to concerns about potential complications after surgery and the pain experienced during the recovery process. In such cases, rehabilitation therapy becomes even more challenging, and severe joint adhesion due to restricted movement can lead to a vicious cycle where the joint's range of motion further diminishes later on. Therefore, it is crucial to restore normal joint range of motion through appropriate joint exercises, depending on the recovery of the surgical site and the degree of pain. This is because appropriate post-surgical joint exercises not only reduce joint stiffness and help control swelling and pain, but also aid in restoring normal posture and movement, ultimately facilitating a quick return to daily life. Today, we will learn about <b>rehabilitation therapy after hip surgery</b>.
