Rehabilitation plan

From WikiLectures

The rehabilitation plan is compiled individually for each patient due to age, diagnosis, possibilities and associated diseases. It consists of taking a anamnesis (often taken by the doctor himself), self-examination and finding out the patient's options. This is followed by the compilation of a short-term and long-term rehabilitation plan.

KRP Short-Term Rehabilitation Plan[edit | edit source]

The KRP is compiled for a shorter period of time, usually for the duration of a stay in a rehabilitation facility. It is a series of goals that will be pursued and should be achieved at a given time. It mostly consists of restoring (or at least improving) lost movement possibilities, self-care training, prevention of immobilization syndrome (in lying patients), strengthening of weakened muscles, stretching of shortened ones and restoration of the correct walking stereotype. The exercise unit is not complicated, we progress from simple movements to more complex ones.

DRP Long Term Rehabilitation Plan[edit | edit source]

The DRP is compiled as a plan for the future (months, years), which must have a clearly defined goal. It is governed by the age and capabilities of the patient. This includes provision of a home environment and regular home measures, spa treatment, outpatient treatment.
