Joint disorders, fractures, and inflammatory conditions require specialized orthopedic and rheumatological rehabilitation to restore strength and mobility. Post-surgical recovery programs incorporate progressive weight-bearing exercises, proprioceptive training, and manual therapy to enhance joint stability. For individuals with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid conditions, physical therapy and pain management strategies help mitigate stiffness and inflammation. Assistive devices and adaptive movement techniques are often integrated to ensure long-term functional independence. Advances in regenerative medicine, including stem cell therapy and biologic treatments, are further expanding treatment options, offering new hope for patients with complex musculoskeletal and rheumatological conditions.
