Phases of Healing
Acute
Subacute
Chronic
Phases of Rehabilitation
protection
controlled motion
return to function
Acute Stage of Healing
Inflammation, swelling & pain before tissue resistance
Duration = up to 4-6 days after injury
Protection Phase
Educate patient
control effects of inflammation
facilitate healing
Subacute Stage of Healing
Decrease Inflammation, Pain synchronous with tissue
Duration = 10-20 days
Controlled Motion Phase
Promote healing
restore soft tissue/muscle/joint mobility
develop neuromuscular control, endurance, strength in involved muscles
Chronic Stage of Healing
Absence of inflammation, Pain after tissue resistance
Duration = 6 months - 2 years
Return to Function Phase
Education patient
Increase ROM
Progress neuromuscular control/strength/endurance
Improve cardio endurance
progress functional activities
SANE
Patient’s perceived ability to use their affected vs unaffected side
Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS)
3 Patient chosen activities to guide therapy goals
Western Ontario & McMaster arthritis index (WOMAC)
disease specific measure assessing pain, stiffness & ability to perform functional movements
Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS)
Region specific measure, assessing function of LE’s
Muscle performance is strong & pain-free
likely no lesion of muscle/tendon/nerve
Muscle performance is strong & painful
mild muscle/tendon/nerve issue
Muscle performance is weak and painful
moderate/severe muscle/tendon/nerve issue
