Performance optimization in rehabilitation is about enhancing patients' physical function to reach their highest potential post-injury or illness. By evaluating an individual’s strength, flexibility, and endurance, therapists develop personalized routines aimed at building resilience and preventing future injuries. This process often involves exercises targeting specific muscle groups, balance training, and flexibility improvements. Tools like wearable technology provide instant feedback on movement, allowing for real-time adjustments to optimize each session. The approach not only restores lost capabilities but also strengthens the body beyond its baseline, empowering patients to resume daily activities with greater ease and confidence.
