Quadriplegia Physiotherapy in Indirapuram

Levels and function

The level and completeness of injury determine what's possible. Someone with a lower neck injury may use their arms and wrists well enough to push a manual wheelchair and transfer with help. Higher injuries may require powered wheelchairs and full assistance with care.

Preventing complications

Pressure sores, joint contractures, chest infections, blood pressure drops when sitting up and blood clots are significant risks. Regular positioning, range of motion, breathing and coughing techniques, and gradual sitting-up programmes are essential.

Building function

We strengthen the muscles that still work, practise sitting balance, transfers and wheelchair skills. For incomplete injuries, standing and stepping practice may be possible. Hand function training helps with feeding, grooming and using devices.

Carer training and home care

Much of daily care falls on families and carers. We train them in safe handling, positioning, transfers and exercises. Home visits help adapt the environment and routines. Physiotherapy works best as part of a team including doctors, nurses and occupational therapists.
