Physical rehabilitation is the process a person goes through to regain their physical function after being hurt or out of shape.
After an accident and surgery, physical rehabilitation can be a protracted procedure that begins while the patient is still in the hospital and lasts through a skilled nursing facility, in-home treatment, outpatient therapy, and other settings.
For instance, you could require physical therapy if you fractured your wrist and had to have it immobilised in a cast for several months in order to rebuild your strength and range of motion.
You will benefit from this therapy if you need assistance with daily duties including cooking, taking a shower, working, looking after kids, and more. A licenced hand therapist—possibly an occupational therapist or a physical therapist with further training—would likely provide you with rehabilitation care.
A stroke patient could go to physical therapy to restore their balance, muscle strength, and range of motion on one side of their body. They might even learn how to eat again or drive again. To accomplish their objectives, they most likely would collaborate with a speech therapist, occupational therapist, and physical therapist.
