Physical Therapy
Home health rehabilitation for transfer, balance, gait training, strengthening, conditioning, and post-surgical rehabilitation focuses on helping individuals recover and regain independence in the comfort of their homes. Here’s an overview of each service:
Transfer Training
Goal: Improve the ability to move safely between positions (e.g., bed to chair, sitting to standing).
Techniques:
- Safe transfer mechanics (e.g., using a gait belt or assistive devices).
- Body mechanics to prevent strain or injury.
Examples:
- Bed mobility training.
- Standing pivot transfers.
- Slide board transfers.
Balance Training
Goal: Enhance stability to reduce fall risks and improve confidence.
Approach:
- Static and dynamic balance exercises.
- Use of tools like balance boards or parallel bars.
- Incorporation of real-life tasks (e.g., reaching or bending).
Targeted Conditions:
- Post-stroke recovery.
- Neurological disorders.
- General deconditioning.
Gait Training
Goal: Restore a safe and efficient walking pattern.
Key Components:
- Improving step length, cadence, and symmetry.
- Introducing assistive devices (e.g., walkers, canes).
Techniques:
- Weight-shifting drills.
- Obstacle navigation.
- Treadmill walking with or without harness support.
Strengthening & Conditioning
Goal: Improve overall muscle strength and endurance.
Methods:
- Progressive resistance exercises (e.g., bodyweight, bands, or weights).
- Aerobic conditioning (e.g., stationary cycling or light cardio).
Benefits:
- Better joint stability.
- Enhanced stamina for daily activities.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Focus Areas:
- Pain management.
- Regaining range of motion (ROM) and strength.
- Preventing complications like stiffness or blood clots.
- Common Surgeries Covered:
- Joint replacements (e.g., knee, hip).
- Spinal surgeries.
- Rotator cuff repairs.
- Techniques:
- Gradual mobilization.
- Stretching to reduce scar tissue.
- Tailored strengthening and conditioning programs.
