Principles of Rehabilitation
Avoid Aggravation – cot causing further injury, promote healing, not hinder healing
Timing – The time when you do it is important! Done too early can be harmful.
Compliance – Include patient in the care plan.
- If they are not included, they might not be compliant. If not compliant, it won’t work
Individualization – every patient is different. Be aware of time lines, goal setting, age, level of motivation. The plan cannot be generic.
Specific Sequencing – The treatment should follow the body’s healing process. Ex: work on joint mobility before strength.
Intensity – Just the right challenge, and continue to challenge as patient progresses
Total Patient – Holistic approach, looking at patient as a whole, not just their injury.
Principle of Specificity
The body will adapt to the demands that are imposed
Principle of Reversibility
Use it or lose it. Will be able to regain when back at it.
