patient presenting with trochanteric fracture !!! got fixed with DYNAMIC HIP SCREW!!A CHALLENGE FOR PHYSIOTHERAPY AS HE IS HAVING PARKINSONISM

ITS A BIG CHALLENGE TO DEAL WITH SUCH PATIENT…DEFINITELY HE WILL NOT SHOW MUCH COORDINATION AS PARKINSONS FACTOR IS ALSO DOMINATING…

BED MOBILITY IS THE KEY FACTOR TO ACHIEVE.. PREVENTION OF BED SORES AND MUSCLE SETTING EXERCISES WITH PRECAUTION IS IMPORTANT…..

STANDING MUST BE THERE WITH WEIGHT BEARING AS TOLERATED.ASSISTIVE DEVICE IS THE COMPANION OF THE PATIENT…GAIT TRAINING IS DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE.IT WILL TAKE 6 WEEK FOR FULL WEIGHT BEARING BUT ITS BETTER TO USE WALKER AS BALANCE IS COMPROMISED.
