Precision Post-Surgical Orthopedic Rehabilitation
The surgeon's operation is only half the battle; complete functional recovery depends on timely, safe, and progressive rehabilitation. Dr. Usman Ismail collaborates closely with leading orthopedic surgeons and hospitals to deliver tailored post-operative protocols at Arhan Polyclinic, Sheikhupura.
Essential Components of Our Post-Op Protocol
- Early Swelling Management: Gentle passive range-of-motion and lymphatic drainage to prevent intra-articular fibrosis.
- Scar Tissue Desensitization: Preventing adhesion formation between fascial planes and overlying skin incisions.
- Muscle Activation Awakening: Electrical muscle stimulation (NMES) and voluntary isometric contraction protocols to counteract arthrogenic muscle inhibition.
Rehabilitation Roadmap
- Weeks 1–4: Wound healing protection, contracture prevention, and basic weight-bearing symmetry.
- Weeks 5–10: Active joint mobility, progressive resistive exercise, and normal gait pattern restoration.
- Weeks 11+: High-level functional strengthening, balance training, and unrestricted daily living confidence.
