Comprehensive Review of Physiotherapy and Nursing Roles in Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Abstract
These two roles of physiotherapy and the nursing profession assume considerable importance with respect to postsurgical rehabilitation, and the relationship between the two specialties is synergistic since they mutually reinforce and cooperate in approach, seeking the best recovery results. Rehabilitation is a crucial component in the care of patients that directly enhances their physical, psychological, and emotional healing after surgery. Physiotherapists focus on patients’ movement and muscle strength, while nurses are in charge of the treatment circumstances, giving comfort to patients and preventing the surge of complications. This review integrates literature on their respective roles, intervention approaches, and the potency of joint work in delivering rehabilitation. It also acknowledges aims, issues, concerns, and recommendations for the postsurgical care plan to improve patient outcome patients.
