Orthopedic rehabilitation is a program that helps to correct musculoskeletal problems that arise from diseases, injuries, and surgery. Many conditions and injuries affect people’s bones and muscles, hindering them from moving effectively. Orthopedic rehabilitation entails processes that can help patients regain mobility and the use of bones and muscles.

Orthopedic rehabilitation involves a couple of specialists, such as physical therapists, nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and doctors. Every specialist works on different mobility areas to improve the patient’s ability to use their bodies effectively again. Some of these areas include hand-eye coordination, balance training, and motor skills. In addition, equipment helps get patients back into shape. The equipment comprises canes, reachers, orthotics, and splints.
