Rehabilitation at home: this is what you need to watch out for

After operations such as knee surgery or hip surgery, or after an injury or illness, rehabilitation is often necessary. In addition to rehabilitation under the supervision of a physiotherapist, rehabilitation at home also contributes to faster recovery. For example, daily cycling on an exercise bike after knee surgery has a positive effect on your muscle strength, mobility and condition.

To go through your (home) rehabilitation as well as possible, it is important that you choose the right fitness device; a device with the best characteristics tailored to your rehabilitation. In this blog we give you tips on what to look out for when choosing fitness equipment to rehabilitate at home.

Choose a device that is customizable

Prudence is required in rehabilitation. After all, you don't want to suffer unnecessary damage by, for example, moving too fast, making incorrect movements or maintaining an incorrect posture while moving.

A low entrylevel
Choose a low-entry device. Especially in the case of rehabilitation after knee or hip surgery it is easy if you are not hindered by a (too) high step. A low step ensures that you can easily get on the device without having to make awkward bends or large movements.

Resistance and speed adjustable
Especially in the initial phase of your rehabilitation, you can't move too fast or too heavy. A device with adjustable resistance and speed is therefore ideal. This way you can make the right movements without having to put (too) much force. When your strength increases, you can set the speed and resistance higher. This way you can adjust the device during the entire rehabilitation to the level you are on at that moment and you can make the progress you need to get back to your old level.

The good sitting posture
What you don't need is a new back and neck injury because you are constantly sitting in the wrong position during your rehabilitation. That's why it is important to choose a device that looks for a correct sitting posture. This will prevent you from moving with a convex back or neck during every workout.

Provide insight into your physical condition
Especially for rehabilitating (ex) heart patients it is important to have insight into your vital functions. Therefore, make sure that the equipment is equipped with technology that gives you insight into this. In this way you are constantly informed of your physical condition during your training and you can adjust your training accordingly.
