Comprehensive Rehab following
Hip & Knee Replacement

Presented by Rehab Connections

Description

Why not do SLRs? Can exercise "correct" a leg length discrepancy? When is manual therapy essential?

This important new course reviews common protocols and restrictions while presenting a plethora of ideas and effective interventions for your patients in the hospital, home and outpatient settings following total and partial hip and knee replacement. Lab will include soft tissue techniques and joint mobilization that can immediately impact pain and ROM. In addition, basic beginner exercises will be performed with unique facilitation techniques to improve ROM and decrease pain and swelling, then intermediate progressions will emphasize gait and functional strength, including step exercises.

Instruction level: Intermediate.
