Rehabilitation for hip and knee arthritis focuses on relieving pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall function. This comprehensive program typically includes physical therapy, which emphasizes strengthening the surrounding muscles, improving flexibility, and promoting joint stability.
Patients often start with low-impact exercises, such as swimming or cycling, to reduce stress on the joints while building endurance. As strength increases, therapists may introduce more targeted strength training, balance exercises, and functional activities that mimic daily movements.
Education is also a vital component, teaching patients about joint protection techniques and activity modifications to reduce strain. In some cases, assistive devices like braces or walking aids may be recommended to enhance mobility and support joint health.
