Impact of Early Physiotherapy Intervention on Functional Recovery After Traumatic Brain Injury

Abstract

Damage to the brain from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can impede a person's ability to operate physically, mentally, and cognitively, which can make it difficult to recover and lead a normal life. In order to maximise functional recovery and minimise long-term impairments, early physiotherapy intervention is crucial. the effects on functional outcomes, such as strength, mobility, and independence in ADLs, of beginning physiotherapy during the acute phase of traumatic brain injury rehabilitation. Over the course of 12 weeks, researchers followed a group of traumatic brain injury patients and compared the results for those who began physical therapy sooner against those who began treatment later. The results show that motor recovery, mobility, and the return to functional independence are all greatly improved with early intervention. Improved overall recovery trajectories are a result of early physiotherapy's ability to decrease secondary problems including muscle atrophy and joint stiffness. underlines the significance of early physiotherapy in improving functional results in the long run and its position as a critical strategy in the full care of traumatic brain injury.
