Four New Concepts in Orthopedic Rehabilitation Medicine

I. Rehabilitation should be carried out not only for patients in the late stage of recovery or sequelae, but also from the early stage of clinical treatment, and should be strengthened clinically. The rehabilitation should not only master the techniques of the rehabilitation therapy specialty itself, but also be familiar with the clinical treatment of related diseases, such as related orthopedic injuries and diseases. Not only should we join hands with therapists from various treatment departments in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine to form an “intra-departmental team” for rehabilitation treatment, but we should also work closely with orthopedic physicians to form an “inter-departmental team” to provide patients with the best rehabilitation treatment. Fourth, not only give full play to the role of non-surgical rehabilitation therapy in functional rehabilitation, but also fully recognize the introduction of necessary orthopedic surgery to functional rehabilitation. Patients who should undergo rehabilitative surgery should go to orthopedics for surgical treatment to correct deformity and improve function.
