𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐘

Old age problems sometimes require new-age solutions. One such problem being chronic knee pain in the elderly.

Knee Replacement is the answer for it!

Even though these procedures are done since 1968, many questions and queries surround this surgery. This procedure has evolved through time making it more pliable and effective for patients.

This post will give you some Insights to make a better decision.

During the recovery period post-surgery, the knee remains painful as it is healing back to normal. Generally, it takes 𝟑-𝟔 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 to complete recovery and to get a benefit out of the surgery.
Appropriate activity modifications are required to make the knee implant last for many years.

The patient in this video had stroke 8 months back, resulting in left side weakness, since then he is on an aggressive physiotherapy treatment. This patient started his road to recovery soon after stroke.

He was put on trademill training right after we achieved
1) good sitting balance
1) good standing balance
2) Ability to walk independently with a walking aid
3) Able to understand commands
4) stable cardiac status

We would have excluded him if he had anyother co-morbidities which would have not supported him to do trademill walking or if he had unstable cardiac status.

Post trademill walking what has improved:
1) His walking speed has increased.
2) His standing balance and endurance
3) Agility and co-ordination has improved
4) Boost in his energy
5) Quality of walking pattern was improved.

Trademill training has been widely used to improve walking ability post stroke. However, one has to consult his/her Physiotherapist for providing sufficient and appropriate details on when to start.

Current status of this patient: He walks using one stick and is happily going to his office in Andheri.

Did you know Exercise plays an important role in improving immune system???

Thats true!!
Studies have shown that an individual participating in daily exercises has a better defense response to the illness.

Exercises not only improves the metabolic health of the body but, also flushes out bacteria from the body.

However, overdoing exercises can also cause some harm. One needs to regulate their exercises depending upon their lifestyles and their physical make up.

For more Information on proper exercise protocols, contact us.

Approach and duration to achieve physical fitness varies person to person. Each Person is different, hence physical make up of each also differs.

Age is one of the main differentiating feature. The efforts that you put should be used in a right direction.

Work Hard yes!
But smarter more!

Get yourself assessed first and tailor- make your exercises.

Did you know Stroke survivors needs to repeat an activity for roughly 400-600 times per day, to achieve significant changes in their brain and ultimately resulting in their functional activities???

In Stroke survivors, repetition of exercises/ activities are essential.
In order to re-establish and form new neural connections, stimulating brain in a consistent manner is required.

‘Frozen Shoulder’ the name itself suggests being stuck.
Clinically it is known as Adhesive Capsulitis.
𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧…𝐈𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲…𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬…𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬
This is usually the chronology seen in frozen shoulder. An individual starts feeling pain due to which shoulder movement is restricted. This leads to inactivity and further restriction of movement.
Soon one realizes reaching over top shelf or performing daily activity has become difficult & now everybody tells you…Oh!! You have developed FROZEN SHOULDER.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙯𝙚𝙣 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧?
Your shoulder joint is enclosed in a capsule made up of connective tissue. When this capsule thickens and tightens around the shoulder joint, the shoulder movements are restricted.
The exact cause is unknown. But people having diabetes, systemic conditions, or who had to recently immobilize the shoulder are at high risk of developing frozen shoulder.

𝙏𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩?
𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: To reduce pain and inflammation
𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲: To restore mobility, strength as much as possible
𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐲: Most frozen shoulders get better within 12-18 months. For persistent symptoms, your doctor might suggest surgical options

𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙋𝙝𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙮 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩?
Physiotherapy includes exercise therapy and electrical modalities for pain management. Studies have shown when NSAIDs and exercises are used together, the recovery rate is better.
Due to inactivity, deconditioning of shoulder and scapular muscles are commonly seen. Therefore strengthening remains an important part of physical therapy treatment.
Without the inclusion of physiotherapy recovery of movement is prolonged, imbalanced postures are developed, muscle deconditioning is seen.

𝙏𝙞𝙥𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙗𝙖𝙩 𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙯𝙚𝙣 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧
• Exercises should be gradually added taking into consideration stages of frozen shoulder.
• Aggressive approach in earlier stages may aggravate the synovitis and inflammation. Similarly, an easy approach in later stages may hinder the recovery process. Use a graded and guided approach.
• Blood sugar levels should be monitored and managed regularly. Any systemic conditions to be taken regular follow-ups with their doctors
• Patient education essential to reduce frustration and encourage compliance. Appropriate home program to be given which is easy to comply with as daily exercise is critical in relieving symptoms.

𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗻'𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺.

Slowness in movement, tremors, stiffness, impaired balance and coordination, mask-like face, stooped posture are the common symptoms that define Parkinson's in a nutshell. People with Parkinson's suffer from some cognitive deficits. This population often complains of slower thinking. Attention and executive functions are most commonly affected.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗬𝗣𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗘𝗫𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗜𝗦𝗘 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗙𝗢𝗖𝗨𝗦 𝗢𝗡?
1) Strengthening exercise
2) Flexibility exercises
3) Aerobic activity
4) Improving Respiratory and 5)Cardio-pulmonary endurance.

𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗦?
1) Loss of flexibility due to stiffness or rigidity can affect balance.
2) Pain in the joints
3) Decreased muscle strength
4) Reduced functional activities.

𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻!!
• Usually, Pain is the neglected symptom of all. Pain due to stiffness can be a real problem in patients with Parkinson's due to which they stop themselves from moving. They should be motivated to move.

• They are most likely to fall due to balance issues. Motivating them to exercise and take up exercises as their daily routine may help them to tackle their balance issues.

• People with Parkinson's suffer from shortness of breath, irregular and rapid breathing patterns. Patients who suffer from Respiratory problems should seek help from their Physiotherapists.

• An exercise protocol which will involve patients listening to metronome beats and certain activity like walking will help him improve the steps, speed and also decrease the risk of fall.

• •𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗘..!! 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲.

𝗕𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗙𝗜𝗧𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗘𝗫𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗜𝗦𝗘:
A different exercise program will help to achieve different goals. A customized exercise program is required for a Parkinson’s patient since each patient is different. The benefits are as follows:

1) Improves Mobility
2) Strengthens muscles
3) Delays the progress of the disease
4) Improves posture
5) Improves respiratory functions
6) Improves overall fitness.

Disclaimer: All exercises mentioned in this post are generalised. One needs to Consult Physiotherapist for a customised protocol.
