Post THR Rehab
Post THR Rehab
Post-THR Rehabilitation is a structured program designed to help patients regain strength, mobility, and independence after a Total Hip Replacement surgery. Proper rehab ensures faster recovery, improved joint function, and long-term stability of the hip.
When Rehabilitation is Needed
- After Total Hip Replacement surgery
- Persistent hip stiffness or discomfort
- Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or performing daily activities
- Weakness in hip and surrounding muscles
- Balance issues or limited range of motion
Rehabilitation Approach
Early Mobilization:
- Gentle movements and assisted walking start within 24–48 hours post-surgery
Physiotherapy:
- Strengthening exercises for hip muscles, thighs, and lower back
- Range-of-motion exercises to restore flexibility
- Gait and balance training for safe mobility
Pain Management:
- Ice therapy, medications, and proper positioning to reduce swelling and discomfort
Progressive Activity:
- Gradual increase in walking, stair climbing, and daily functional tasks
- Guidance on safe return to normal activities and low-impact exercises
