Functional Assessment and Rehabilitation

Precise an in-depth analysis for individual physiotherapeutical and rehabilitative therapies

• Postural assessment    
  Clinically the posture represents a fundamental element for the diagnosis of a skeletal muscle or visceral dysfunction.
  The postural test provides for an analysis of the person in all space levels: the physiotherapist by dedicated equipment can highlight the existence of imbalances or deficit and sketch out an appropriate global programme of postural rehabilitation. 
   
• Functional Rehabilitation     
  The functional rehabilitation is the correct function restoration of body compartment affected by trauma, surgery or chronic pain. 
  The functional rehabilitation programmes of Clinica San Francesco include exercises conducted actively by patient and passive techniques carried out by physiotherapist focused on recovery of articular movement, muscle tone and postural patterns and original motors. The pysiotherapeutical sessions can provide for the use of equipments or floor exercises, besides mobilizations and manual procedures carried out by the specialist.
  The global postural rehabilitation and proprioceptive rehabilitation are part of functional rehabilitation.

Physical Therapies

Physiotherapeutical treatments with specific equipment

The physical or instrumental therapy consists in using, during the rehabilitative path, electromedical devices able to produce a particular energy and to transfer it to patients for several therapeutic aims.

The instrumental rehabilitation can be carried out both alone and within more complete physiotherapeutical programmes. Among the Clinica San Francesco’s physical therapies the tecar therapy, laser therapy, shock waves, ultrasounds and electrotherapy are performed.
