Rehabilitation of the body after injuries and operations in the sanatorium
In the course of life, people often suffer various injuries — from scratches and cuts to bruises, sprains, dislocations, and fractures. More serious musculoskeletal injuries inevitably require the help of orthopedists and traumatologists, including surgical and conservative treatment methods. Medical supervision usually ends after removal of casts, stitches, etc. However, at this stage, the patient's physical performance remains incomplete, and the body is still in a weakened condition. So what should be done next?
Goal of Rehabilitation
After severe injuries and surgeries, self-rehabilitation at home is not enough to restore muscle tissue and full functionality of the musculoskeletal system — especially when most patients are on sick leave and try to remain inactive. At this point, it is advisable to undergo a complete rehabilitation program.
Rehabilitation is a complex of procedures aimed at restoring the function of the injured organ, regaining lost skills and abilities during illness, and preventing recurrence. Recovery is recommended after various types of surgery and trauma, including:
- Head injuries;
- Fractures of the pelvis, femur (thigh bone), humerus (upper arm), tibia (shin bone), etc.;
- Spinal fractures and injuries;
- Joint damage and replacements.
Depending on the type of injury or surgery, different recovery programs are prescribed. The rehabilitation course must be carried out under strict supervision by qualified specialists, as it is long-term, requires patience and effort from the patient, and professional attention from doctors.
When Is Post-Trauma Rehabilitation Recommended?
Today, two main periods of rehabilitation are recognized:
- Early, active recovery;
- Late post-traumatic period.
Recovery after injury or surgery should begin as early as possible, even if the doctor prescribes limited mobility, because prolonged rest leads to muscle atrophy. The musculoskeletal system weakens, blood circulation deteriorates, and overall physical capacity declines. Moreover, at earlier stages of recovery, the body’s resistance to physical stress is lower, so less effort and endurance are required.
