Q

CASE: S.F. 64 y/o (+) Htn, (-)DM ® handed ♀ who was referred to you for PT eval and mx 2 to S/P (R) THR 8 days ago. Pt also c/o an intermittent dull pain on the ® hip area gr. 4/10 on a subjective pain scale (0=no pain 10=worst possible pain). Aggravated by prolonged WB activities like standing and walking (6/10); relieved by rest. Condition started 9 days ago when pt accidentally slipped inside the bathroom with the ® buttocks and felt a sharp pain on the hip area. Pt was immediately rushed to the ER of Asian Medical Center; x-ray showed femoral neck fx which prompted surgery the following day. Pt had cemented THR, c posterolateral approach 5 days ago. Pt was referred to in-pt rehab for 6 days (bid). PMHx: (+) osteoporosis diagnosed 2 yrs ago. Pt. is a retired teacher who does walking exercises for 30-45 minutes guided by Youtube exercise videos 2x/wk. Pt currently lives c her daughter, sleeps in a bedroom on the first floor; bathroom ~20 steps away, kitchen~20 steps away and living room ~15 steps away. Pt wants to be able to move around s difficulty and return to her own house.
