Duration:1 Hour 58 Minutes | Format:Audio and Video
Outline:
Modern variants of total hip and ankle arthroplasty
Overview of surgical techniques and components
Common Dx leading to THA and TAA
Postoperative timing and start time of balance training with each population
Gait and balance mechanics to maximize postoperative results
Review the movements of the ankles and hips in a “normal” gait to understand which movements should be emphasized
Does the prosthesis limit range of motion and potential for strength gain?
Deficiency 6 months and 2 years after surgery
What is the role of proprioception and muscle response in balance and gait
Postoperative balance strategies
The Role of Neuroplasticity in Restoring Equilibrium
The role of symmetry training and impact on the contralateral limb
Why surgery appears to have a greater effect on the ankle receptors than the hip
Large muscle mass in the thigh and which muscles are key in balance
The importance of balance and proprioceptive training after surgery
Impact on the patient’s perceived long-term outcome and how it may differ from therapeutic outcome
The importance of restoring patient confidence and the impact of fear of falling on actual falls
How does the patient function long after being discharged from formal therapy?
Demonstration of postoperative exercises and activities
Stance on one limb and tandem stance activity in the early and late stages of rehabilitation
Various touch inputs for progressions
Effective strengthening exercises and correct dosing / overloading principles
Description:
How many times have you heard a patient say, “I had my hip replaced three years ago and now it doesn’t hurt. However, I just never got all my strength back and I still feel like I could lose my balance and fall over” ?
After total lower limb arthroplasty, the focus is usually on pain relief, basic movement, range of motion and basic strengthening. Often this is where we or patients stay. Long-term functional improvement and the safety of ambulation may be overlooked.
This course aims to highlight the long-term results after ankle and hip replacement. We look at what the current literature says about which postoperative deficits are most effective and the best way to improve balance after surgery. What works can be surprisingly simple.
