Description:

How often do you hear a patient remark, “My hip replacement was three years ago, and it no longer hurts. I simply never fully recovered my strength, and I constantly worry that I could lose my balance and fall?

After lower limb complete joint replacement, it’s typical to concentrate on pain relief, fundamental transfers, range of motion, and fundamental strengthening. This is frequently the point when we or the patients quit. It is possible to disregard the safety of ambulation and long-term functional gain.

The emphasis of this course will be on the long-term results of ankle and hip joint replacement. We’ll look at what the most recent research has to say about the most detrimental post-operative impairments and the most effective ways to restore balance following surgery. It could be shockingly easy to do what works.
