Prehabilitation, also known as prehab, is designed to help patients prepare for surgery by improving their physical function, strength, and overall health before undergoing a total knee replacement (TKR) procedure.
The benefits of prehabilitation for TKR include:
Improved patient outcomes:
💚Prehabilitation has been shown to reduce the risk of complications, such as blood clots, pneumonia, and heart attacks, after surgery.
💚Faster recovery: Prehabilitation can help patients recover faster and more efficiently after surgery, which can reduce the length of hospital stay and the need for physical therapy.
💚Enhanced patient satisfaction: Prehabilitation can improve patient satisfaction with their surgical outcome by reducing pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall physical function.
💚Reduced hospital readmission rates: Prehabilitation can help reduce hospital readmission rates by improving patient outcomes and reducing the risk of complications.
💚Increased physical function: Prehabilitation can help patients regain their physical function and mobility after surgery, which can improve their overall quality of life.
💚Improved mental health: Prehabilitation can help patients cope with anxiety and depression related to surgery by providing emotional support and education.
💚Reduced pain: Prehabilitation can help reduce pain after surgery by improving patient physical function and mobility, which can reduce the need for pain medication.
