We talk about post-fracture rehabilitation in the new episode of "15 minutes with... ", the in-depth talk on the health of the Cagliari university hospital in collaboration with the Unione Sarda group, which will be broadcast live on Tuesday 6 June at 5 pm on the social networks of the Aou of Cagliari (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn and Twitter), on the website www.aoucagliari.it, on the Facebook page of the Unione Sarda and on www.unionesarda.it. As always, viewers will be able to ask questions live. On Wednesday, readers of the Unione Sarda will find in-depth information in the newspaper's “Salute” insert.
Guest of the column, conducted by journalist Fabrizio Meloni, head of Communications and External Relations of the Aou of Cagliari, will be Dr. Giuliana Salis physiatrist of the Duilio Casula Polyclinic.
The activity of the physiatrist is based on the use of non-surgical treatments, such as physiotherapy, drugs, radiofrequency ablation, postural gymnastics and the use of braces.
The activity of the physiatrist aims to help the patient recover all or most of the functions of the locomotor system or of the peripheral nerves compromised following a pathology, injury or surgery. Very often, I collaborate with other professionals in the medical sector such as physiotherapists, neurologists, geriatricians, pediatricians and rheumatologists.
After a fracture it is important to follow a rehabilitation program to ensure that you regain as much fitness and mobility as possible. The rehabilitation program will be designed according to age, fracture severity and fracture area and include exercises to improve strength and range of motion.
The talk “15 minutes with…” is edited by Aou Cagliari News, the newspaper of the university hospital. An agile and simple format, it includes 15 minutes of discussions with specialists and the possibility for the public to ask questions live.
