Movement and exercise
We assist the patient in the movement restoration and some tasks which includes the following:
Muscle strength evaluation and quantification.
Physiotherapy exercises to maintain and increase joint range of motion.
Evaluate and train sitting and standing balance.
Physical therapy exercises to increase strength,endurance and coordination for other specific muscle groups or the entire body.
Use various physical therapy modalities such as both superficial and deep heat and cold as well as hydrotherapy techniques, electrical stimulation, traction and massage for pain relief.
Aid in home evaluation to make the environment barrier free and accessible.
Assess the patient's wheelchair needs, including maintenance and assist with individualized wheelchair prescriptions.
Progressive gait training with or without ambulatory aids.
Exercises to reduce spasticity.
We usually recommend movement and exercise to help improve your mobility and function. This may include:
Exercises designed to improve movement and strength in a specific part of the body – these usually need to be repeated regularly for a set length of time
Activities that involve moving your whole body, such as walkingor swimming – these can help if you're recovering from an operation or injury that affects your mobility
Exercises carried out in warm, shallow water (hydrotherapy or aquatic therapy) – the water can help relax and support the muscles and joints, while providing resistance to help you gradually strengthen
Advice and exercises to help you increase or maintain your physical activity – advice will be given on the importance of keeping active, and how to do this in a safe, effective way
Providing mobility aids – such as crutches or a walking stick to help you move around
