Understanding Post-Operative Rehab in the Indian Context
Hyderabad sees rising joint replacements and sports ligament surgeries among professionals travelling between HITEC City, Gachibowli, and Shamshabad. Indian Arthroplasty Association data show that structured physiotherapy within 48 hours halves stiffness and reduces hospital stay. At Ajuda Hospitals, we combine ERAS-aligned protocols with the cultural realities of multigenerational homes and limited caregiver availability.
Our team coordinates analgesia, nutrition with protein-rich Telugu meals, and early mobilisation so that patients can resume livelihoods quickly. Whether you live in Banjara Hills or commute from Nalgonda, our hybrid in-clinic and tele-rehab model keeps you progressing with measurable milestones.
When to Consult Our Post-Op Rehab Specialists
⚠️ Seek urgent review if you notice:
- ✓ Sudden calf pain, swelling, or breathlessness (possible DVT)
- ✓ Fever, wound redness, or fluid discharge
- ✓ Inability to bear weight after a fall or slip
- ✓ Severe, unrelieved pain despite medication
Schedule routine sessions when you are discharged post-surgery, feel stiff during home exercises, or need guidance on returning to work, driving, or sports.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Functional Mapping & Risk Screen
Detailed history, pain mapping, comorbidity check, and vitals to personalise precautions per Indian Society of Anaesthesiologists guidelines.
Strength & Range Benchmarking
Hand-held dynamometry, goniometry, and balance scores (Berg, LEFS) establish baselines for progression.
Gait Lab & Assistive Device Fitting
Video gait capture, step length analysis, and trial of walkers, canes, or crutches suited to Hyderabad's urban terrain.
Multidisciplinary Huddle
Daily touchpoints with orthopaedic surgeons, pain specialists, and nursing to adjust load, medication timing, and home plan.
Treatment Pathways
Rehab begins with early mobilisation and breathing exercises to prevent complications. We combine pain and edema modulation tools with progressive strengthening and range work. Dedicated sessions focus on gait retraining, stair practice, and community ambulation that mimic Jubilee Hills flyovers and office corridors. Before discharge, we perform a home transition audit and sustain progress via tele-rehab for patients in Warangal, Karimnagar, and beyond.
What to Expect: Your Care Journey
Week 0-1: orientation, pain control, assisted ambulation. Week 2-4: range milestones, quadriceps strength, stair negotiation, and home adaptation. Week 5-8: independent walking, endurance training, and return to desk duties. Athletes extend to months 3-6 for plyometrics, agility, and sport-specific assessments with objective testing before clearance.
Technology & Innovation
Ajuda's rehab gym houses digital gait labs, EMG-integrated NMES, and force platforms. Wearable sensors document each repetition, feeding into the EMR so surgeons view daily progress. Mobile apps remind patients about ice, exercises, and medication timing.
Preventing Complications
We mitigate risks of DVT, infections, and delayed union through vitals surveillance, calf-pump drills, breathing exercises, and blood sugar monitoring. Home visits assess staircase safety, lighting, and bathrooms, which is key to preventing falls in multilevel homes around Secunderabad and Kukatpally.
