Home physical therapy is to start the treatment of the patient at home, accompanied by a good physiotherapist, so that the patient does not have to stay in the hospital all the time. There are bedridden patient groups in severe disease groups such as after severe paralysis, traffic accidents, and patients taken home from the intensive care unit. In the vast majority of these patients, the treatment they receive at the first time of the accident, the disease or the postoperative period is the most effective treatment time. In such cases, the patient needs physical therapy for walking, regaining his old daily movements, and breathing control. Treatments may be long-term in patient groups such as neurological and geriatric.

Why Physical Therapy At Home?

​

In the hospital environment, especially after a sudden stroke accident, patients may have difficulty in removing this change in themselves psychologically and may fall into despair. Patients who completely disconnected from life at an advanced level have been observed. In such cases, it is very important for motivation to get the patient home as soon as possible. The patient, who moves from the hospital environment to his own living space, works by reinforcing his belief that he will recover with a physiotherapist whom he can trust. Both the daily functions of the patient, the tools and equipment used daily, the bed and toilet situation are under the control of the physiotherapist. Thus, an ergonomic environment is created in addition to physical therapy at home. Especially in pediatric patients, a more comfortable adaptation is observed in the home environment.

What Do We Do in Home Physical Therapy?

​

In the first session of home physical therapy, we examine the patient and draw up a treatment plan together with the patient. We advance the treatment in the fastest way possible, in an environment of mutual trust, and by considering both the mental and environmental factors of the patient. If necessary, we resort to device support to support the patient's movements. After the session is over, we assign the patient an individual assignment and control it so that he or she can evaluate the rest of the day efficiently.
