Recovering from surgery or a significant injury is a journey that’s increasingly taking place in the comfort of home. The idea is simple but powerful: familiar surroundings, combined with the right tools and support, can significantly enhance the recovery process. Recent advancements in rehabilitation have made home care more effective than ever. From innovative mobility equipment to telehealth services that bring therapists into the living room, these trends are reshaping how we approach recovery. This post explores how these trends are making home care a more viable and often preferable option for those on the road to recovery.

The Rise of Home-Based Rehabilitation

Why Home Care is Gaining Popularity

The appeal of home-based recovery goes beyond comfort - it is also about the psychological benefits. Home is where people feel most relaxed and supported, which can accelerate the healing process. Studies have shown that lower stress levels, often experienced at home, contribute to faster recovery. The ability to maintain daily routines in a familiar environment provides both physical and emotional comfort, motivating patients to stick with their recovery plans.   [caption id="attachment_62920" align="aligncenter" width="936"]rehabilitation pixabay Image by Alexas_Fotos on Pixabay[/caption]

Impact of COVID-19 on Home Rehabilitation

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift towards home-based care. With hospitals under strain and concerns about exposure to the virus, many turned to home care as a safer option. This shift highlighted that with the right support and equipment, such as a rotating bed is a lifesaver for those with limited mobility, effective rehabilitation can indeed happen at home. Telehealth services have played a crucial role in this transition, allowing patients to consult with healthcare providers remotely. This not only reduces the risk of infection but also offers the flexibility to receive care at convenient times, making home recovery more accessible.

MedicalResearch.com Interview with: [caption id="attachment_56251" align="alignleft" width="200"]Karin Magnusson PT, PhD Associate Researcher Lund University and Norwegian Institute of Public Health Dr. Magnusson[/caption] Karin Magnusson PT, PhD Associate Researcher Lund University and Norwegian Institute of Public Health MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? Response: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common knee injuries, for which very limited data has been presented on the genetic contribution. Based on our knowledge of the role of genetics in the development of ACL-rupture related traits, such as joint hypermobility and knee osteoarthritis, we hypothesized that heritability might play a role also in ACL injury. Using the Swedish Twin Registry, which is the world's largest twin registry and in this study including more than 88.000 twins, we had unique data to for the first time reliably estimate the heritability for this common knee injury.

MedicalResearch.com Interview with: Tom Withers Research Student, School of Health Sciences University East Anglia Norwich, UK MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? What are the main findings? Response: There is a lot of subjective evidence to suggest that physical activity does not improve following hip replacement we wanted to therefore synthesise the current evidence to come to a more objective conclusion. The main finding from this study is that physical activity does not significantly change pre-operatively compared to up to one year post-operatively.
