Nadine Moorie’s Journey to Independence After Bilateral TKR at Veritas Rehab

The Challenge: A Complex Road to Recovery

When Mrs. Nadine Moorie’s came to Veritas, her recovery was more complicated than just her knee surgery. K. Abigail, a physical therapist, explained that Mrs. Moorie had several serious health issues, including a stomach problem called diverticulitis, pneumonia, and a mild heart attack that happened right before she arrived.

Mrs. Nadine Moorie’s is from Virginia in the United States. She was first sent for surgery by Dr. Sai and then brought to Veritas for important recovery after her surgery. The team at Veritas understood how complicated her health was and quickly created a special recovery plan just for her.

The Veritas Rehab Approach: Expertise and Adaptation

Recovery from a Bilateral TKR a major surgery on both knees, requires an intensive, structured approach. However, in Nadine’s case, the physical therapy plan needed to be flexible and highly adaptive due to her Coexisting conditions.

1. Targeting Strength and Mobility

The core of her rehabilitation focused on rebuilding the strength essential for walking and stability. The program, as outlined by her therapist, included:

  • Strengthening Exercises: Specifically targeting key muscle groups like the Quads and Hamstrings.
  • Ankle Pumps: Essential for improving circulation and preventing complications like deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
  • Functional Activities: Gradually progressing her movement to prepare her for daily living.

2. The Power of Patient-Centered Care

What truly accelerated Mrs. Moorie’s recovery was the personalized, compassionate care she received. Mrs. Moorie herself highlighted the crucial role of her therapist, K. Abigail.

 

“My therapist, Abigail, was incredibly patient and adaptive. She let me have three shorter sessions instead of two longer ones, and she supported me throughout my recovery process.”

This adaptive scheduling is a perfect example of our patient-centered care philosophy at Veritas. It ensures patients with complex conditions can participate fully without being overwhelmed, prioritizing their energy levels and overall well-being.

From Wheelchair to Walking: Reclaiming Independence

The results of this dedication and personalized approach were remarkable. Within a short time, Mrs. Moorie achieved significant progress:

  • She is now able to sit and stand by herself.
  • Most importantly, she is now walking independently with minimal support.

Mrs. Moorie was thrilled with the outcome, expressing her gratitude for the fabulous rehab department and the excellent medical care and equipment at Veritas.
