Description

How often have you heard a patient claim, “I had my hip replaced three years ago, and it no longer hurts.” However, I never regained all of my strength, and I still fear losing my balance and falling”?

It is typical to focus on pain control, fundamental transfers, range of motion, and basic strengthening after lower extremity total joint arthroplasty. This is frequently where we or the patients stop. It is easy to miss long-term functional progress and ambulation safety.

This course focuses on the long-term effects of ankle and hip joint replacement. We will look at what the current literature indicates about which post-operative impairments are the most significant and the best ways to improve balance following surgery. What works may be deceptively easy.

Current total hip and total ankle arthroplasty possibilities

Examine surgical procedures and components.
Post-operative timings for THA and TAA and when to begin balance training with each population

Maximizing post-operative outcomes through gait and balance mechanics

Examine ankle and hip movements in “Normal” gait to determine which ones to concentrate.
Is the prosthesis limiting range of motion and potential strength gain?
Deficits at 6 months and 2 years after surgery
What role does proprioception and muscle response play in balance and gait?

Post-surgical Balance Techniques

Neuroplasticity’s function in balance recovery
The influence of symmetry training on the contralateral limb
Why does surgery appear to have a bigger impact on ankle joint receptors than hip joint receptors?
Greater hip muscle mass and which muscles are important for balance

The significance of post-surgery balance and proprioceptive training

The impact on the patient’s perceived long-term outcome and how it differs from the therapist’s
The significance of patients recovering confidence, as well as the influence of fear of falling on actual falls
How is the patient doing long after he or she has been discharged from formal therapy?

Demonstration of post-operative workouts and activities

Early and late in rehabilitation, single limb stance and tandem stance activity
