What to Expect from Joint Replacement Rehab
Expect to feel at ease. At SANO Physio, you’re in the safest hands.
Personalised, Clinician-Led Approach
Every joint replacement is unique. Our physiotherapists work with Brisbane orthopaedic surgeons to create personalised tailored protocols for your surgery type, recovery timeline and functional goals.
Once we begin your treatment plan we may seek further referrals or tests/scans as needed to continually monitor your rehabilitation.
Evidence-Based Post-Op Rehabilitation
Our rehab phase follows best-practice guidelines and includes early mobilisation to reduce swelling and pain, progressive range-of-motion exercises, strength rebuilding, gait and balance training with a focus on long-term mobility.
Physiotherapy appointments may be blended with group rehabilitation classes to improve the outcomes of your rehabilitation.
Technology-Enhanced Support & Tracking
We integrate isometric testing, video-based feedback, telehealth tools and digital exercise solutions to track your recovery and help you stay motivated.
Exercise therapy through our Telehab exercise prescription app will facilitate more accurate home-based rehabilitation. Everything we do is guided by, and in partnership with you.
Restore. Function. Perform. With SANO Physio.
SANO Physio & VALD
VALD, a leader in sports technology (and based in Brisbane), offers innovative products that revolutionise the landscape of isometric testing. We use a range of their products, including the below.
Hand-Held Strength Testing: VALD Dynamo hand-held devices give us quick access to the benefits of isometric testing. This device can measure push/pull isometric force quickly, while also measuring your strength output against population normative data - which means more meaningfull testing.
Force Plate Technology: VALD force plates are at the forefront of isometric testing. These plates precisely measure ground reaction forces during isometric contractions, providing detailed insights into strength, power, and asymmetries.
Dual Force Plate Systems: VALD's dual force plate systems enable simultaneous assessment of force production in both lower limbs, offering a nuanced understanding of bilateral symmetry and potential discrepancies.
What does Isometric Testing Involve?
-
Your isometric testing session begins with a tailored assessment protocol. This involves determining specific joint angles and muscle groups to be tested based on your goals and requirements.
-
During the test, you'll be guided into specific positions relevant to your assessment. Isometric contractions will be measured and recorded to capture accurate force data.
-
VALD products provide real-time data analysis, allowing immediate insights into your strength profiles. Your physiotherapist will interpret the results and discuss implications for your training or rehabilitation.
-
Based on the isometric testing outcomes, a customised program will be designed to target your specific weaknesses, improve imbalances, and enhance overall strength and stability.
