Spinal cord injury (SCI) patient sufferers deal with physical, social, and psychological repercussions. Annual spinal cord injuries are anticipated to range between 250,000 and 500,000. For those with whole or incomplete paraplegia, regaining independent mobility during the chronic phase is the most crucial goal. Bed mobility training, upper limb strengthening, trunk control, and intervention were started. Early physiotherapy participation on the side of the patient allowed him to avoid major secondary issues including bed sores and joint contractures. One of the crucial components of the recovery process for those with spinal cord injuries is physical therapy.
Early physiotherapy intervention is crucial for preventing secondary complications and improving recovery outcomes in paraplegic patients.
A comprehensive rehabilitation program, including bed mobility training, upper limb strengthening, and trunk control exercises, is essential for regaining independent mobility.
Treatment plans should be individualized to address specific patient needs and goals, focusing on activities of daily living and functional improvements.
