Complications that Impact Function post-TJA
Presented by Rehab Connections
Description
Do you have patients with excessive or prolonged edema, knee stiffness or pain
creating an inability to use stairs normally, or difficulty putting on
socks/shoes due to limited hip motion after a hip or knee replacement?
Are these complications purely musculoskeletal and biological or could
surgical errors be a factor?
This new virtual workshop for PTs, OTs, PTAs, and OTAs presents common
complications after hip and knee arthroplasty that limit ADL and IADL, strategies
to prevent these complications when applicable, and standard of care interventions.
This workshop will address a variety of functional movement challenges faced by
patients and PT/OT providers in the multiple settings of our rehab continuum of care.
