PHYSIOTHERAPY

Neurological Conditions:

• Affecting the nervous system (brain, spinal cord, nerves) impacting movement, sensation, and cognition.

• Examples: Stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy.

• Physiotherapy focuses on improving motor function, balance, coordination, and activities of daily living.

Geriatric Conditions among Elderly

• Age-related conditions affecting mobility, balance, and functional independence.

• Examples: Osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, frailty, dementia, falls.

• Physiotherapy aims to maintain or improve strength, balance, mobility, and prevent falls.

Orthopedic Conditions

• Conditions affecting bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons.

• Examples: Fractures, sprains, strains, arthritis, tendonitis, rotator cuff tears.

• Physiotherapy focuses on pain management, improving range of motion, strengthening, and restoring function.

Pediatric Conditions

• Conditions affecting children's development and movement.

• Examples: Cerebral palsy, developmental delays, torticollis, scoliosis.

• Physiotherapy addresses motor skills, sensory processing, and functional abilities.

Lung Conditions for Chest Physiotherapy

• Conditions affecting the respiratory system.

• Examples: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pneumonia, cystic fibrosis.

• Chest physiotherapy techniques include airway clearance methods (e.g., postural drainage, percussion) to improve breathing and clear mucus.

Heart Conditions for Cardiac Rehab

• Conditions affecting the heart and cardiovascular system.

• Examples: Heart attack, heart failure, coronary artery disease.

• Cardiac rehabilitation involves supervised exercise programs to improve cardiovascular fitness, strength, and endurance.

Other Conditions

• This category encompasses a wide range of conditions not specifically listed above.

• Examples: Fibromyalgia, chronic pain syndromes, lymphedema.

• Physiotherapy approaches vary depending on the specific condition and individual needs.

Knee Pain conditions like osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, and patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Neck Pain conditions like cervical disc herniation, whiplash, and neck strain.

Shoulder Pain conditions like rotator cuff tears, impingement syndrome, and frozen shoulder. 

Back Pain conditions like lumbar disc herniation, spinal stenosis, and back muscle strains

Ankle & Foot Pain conditions like plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, and Achilles tendinitis.

Hip and Leg Pain conditions like hip osteoarthritis, hip fractures, and sciatica. 

Hand & Wrist Pain conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and arthritis.
