Goals
To maximize recovery, patients are generally admitted to our inpatient Orthopedic Rehabilitation Program on post-op day three. Treatment starts on day one. For patients able to tolerate this aggressive, intensive program, successful outcomes are generally achieved in a short period of time. Patients are then referred for outpatient services.

Inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation focuses on improving:

• Mobility
• Balance
• Strength
• Range of Motion
• Gait
• Activities of Daily Living
