Rehabilitation after joint replacement
The result of an operation depends not only on the surgeon but also on recovery. Below is what recovery consists of and how to choose a rehabilitation center.
Active recovery begins in the hospital: most patients stand and walk with support the day after surgery. Then comes a rehabilitation program chosen according to age, muscle condition and type of operation. Approximate timing: return to everyday life in a few weeks, full recovery in a few months.
Rehabilitation is usually divided into three directions. They are combined, and the specific program is chosen by the doctor for your case.
Direction 1
Recovery and a change of scenery
After discharge, many people benefit from a few quiet days outside the city: a measured routine, moderate activity, fresh air. This does not replace medical and physical rehabilitation but complements it. A few format options.
