The Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Program
The Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Program
A musculoskeletal rehabilitation program is designed to meet the needs of the individual patient, depending upon the specific problem or disease. Active involvement of the patient and family is vital to the success of the program.
The goal of musculoskeletal rehabilitation is to help the patient return to the highest level of function and independence possible, while improving the overall quality of life - physically, emotionally, and socially.
In order to help reach these goals, musculoskeletal rehabilitation programs may include the following:
- Fitting and care for casts, braces, and splints (orthoses), or artificial limbs (prostheses)
- Exercise programs to improve range of motion, increase muscle strength, improve flexibility and mobility, and increase endurance
- Gait (walking) retraining and methods of safe ambulation (including the use of a walker, cane, or crutch)
- Help with obtaining assistive devices that promote independence
- Patient and family education and counseling
- Pain management
- Stress management and emotional support
- Nutritional counseling
- Ergonomic assessments and work-related injury prevention
- Vocational counseling
