Rehabilitation medicine is an important part of modern medicine, it plays a significant role in the functional recovery of musculoskeletal diseases. A large number of studies have proved that orthopedic rehabilitation can effectively accelerate the rehabilitation process of patients, improve their function, and significantly reduce the disability rate. Of the 135 diseases common to humans, 106 are related to bones and joints. The incidence of orthopedic diseases is high, which is harmful to human health and causes great burden to society and family. To strengthen the clinical and rehabilitation treatment of orthopedic diseases is very important to restore the body function of patients and improve their quality of life.

Rehabilitation object

The scope of orthopaedic rehabilitation is very wide, mainly referring to patients with limb motor dysfunction caused by injury of bone, muscle, tendon, joint, ligament, articular cartilage and other motor systems, such as perioperative rehabilitation of artificial joint replacement, post-traumatic fracture of limbs, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, perioperative rehabilitation of rotator cuff injury. Ankle fracture, ankle osteoarthritis, Achilles tendon rupture, foot valgus, flat foot, Achilles tendon rupture suture, etc.

Common techniques of orthopaedic rehabilitation

Physical factor therapy (Modality)

Utilizing a variety of physical energies, such as through ultrasound therapy, lasers, intermediate frequency, acupuncture... And other means to achieve regulation, maintenance or restoration of physiological functions. The main functions are: control and relieve pain; Reduces edema and muscle spasms; Maintain and enhance tissue healing; Increase local blood circulation, etc. For example. Extracorporeal shock wave is suitable for chronic soft tissue injury pain and bone and joint diseases of neck, shoulder, low back and limbs.

Manual therapy

It mainly uses joint loosening and pulling techniques to relax muscle group, loosen joint adhesion and increase muscle flexibility. Joint loosening technique is a highly targeted manual operation technique completed by the therapist within the movable range of joint activity. It belongs to the category of passive movement. It mainly treats joint dysfunction caused by mechanical factors (non-neurological), such as postoperative joint stiffness, joint adhesion and joint contracture.

Movement therapy (Movement)

Balance, stretching, muscle strength exercise, guide functional exercise, self muscle stretching, muscle strength training activities. Focus on the trunk, limbs of the movement, feeling, balance and other functions of training, including: joint function training, muscle strength training, aerobic training, balance training, facilitation training, transfer training, walking training. Exercise to increase the strength of the muscles, increase their tolerance, restore their normal function, stabilize the joints, and enhance the range of motion. Exercise therapy is the key to rehabilitation.

Specific methods of orthopedic rehabilitation

① Eliminate edema inflammation: cold therapy machine, semiconductor laser, short-wave therapy instrument, ultra-short-wave therapy instrument.

② Chronic pain: extracorporeal shock wave, laser magnetic therapy instrument, wax evaporation therapy, interference electricity, infrared polarized light, magnetic heat.

(3) Prevention of thrombosis and muscle atrophy: air wave pressure therapy instrument, medium frequency interference electrotherapy instrument, deep muscle massager, DMS.

④ Accelerate wound healing and callus formation: ultrasonic therapy instrument, ultra-short wave therapy instrument, red and blue light therapy instrument, thermomagnetic therapy instrument, low-frequency pulse magnetic therapy instrument.

⑤ Maintain and increase joint motion to prevent contracture deformity: CPM joint rehabilitation device, laser magnetic, suspension rehabilitation system, etc.

Enhance muscle strength, prevent muscle atrophy: upper and lower limb active and passive, functional rehabilitation action training system, myoelectric biofeedback instrument, isokinetic muscle strength, suspension rehabilitation system.
