Ajit's Mobility Rehabilitation journey

Stage 1

Pain & edema management

Managed pain and swelling to create a safe foundation for progressive rehabilitation.

Stage 2

Breathing & circulatory exercises

Used breathing and circulation exercises to support recovery and reduce complications from inactivity.

Stage 3

Bed mobility & positioning

Practised safe positioning, rolling, and movement in bed to improve comfort and independence.

Stage 4

Range of motion exercises

Gradually restored comfortable joint movement through guided range-of-motion exercises.

Stage 5

Muscle strengthening

Rebuilt lower-body and core strength with controlled, progressive exercises.

Stage 6

Transfer training

Practised moving safely between the bed, chair, and standing with decreasing assistance.

Stage 7

Gait training

Progressed from a walker to a cane and then to independent walking.

Stage 8

Balance & proprioception training

Improved balance, body awareness, and stability for safer independent movement.

Stage 9

Functional training

Rehearsed daily activities and stair climbing to rebuild practical confidence.

Stage 10

Return to community activities

Returned to community activities with independent mobility, balance, and functional confidence.
