Physiatrics

PHYSIATRY

Physiatry is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and indication of conservative treatments for musculoskeletal system conditions (bones, muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments).

The physiatrist evaluates the patient’s condition and, based on this assessment, develops an individual rehabilitation plan where they will coordinate any professionals involved.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
  • Physiatric examination (complete clinical assessment)
  • Initial functional assessment test (objective quantification of patient mobility)
  • Development of individual rehabilitation plan (IRP) (prescription of exercises, physical and pharmacological therapies, and postural guidelines)
  • Follow-up functional assessment test (measurement of rehabilitation progress)

FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT TEST

The functional assessment test is a series of examinations designed to measure an individual’s physical capacity and performance, evaluating joint mobility, stability, balance, and muscular strength.

  • Initial patient situation assessment
  • Monitoring of rehabilitation progress
  • Evaluation of achievement of set objectives
  • Establishment of progression parameters in the treatment plan
  • Verification if amateur or professional athletes are ready to return to sports activities

VILLA STUART FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT LABORATORY

The Villa Stuart functional assessment laboratory can perform

  • Tests that investigate performance in healthy subjects
  • Tests that study exercise for clinical/pathological/post-traumatic reasons

and is equipped with machinery that allows assessment of specific body areas’ functionality:

  • Hand and wrist
  • Elbow
  • Shoulder
  • Vertebral Column
  • Hip
  • Knee
  • Foot and ankle
EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE IN THE LABORATORY
  • Force plates: for evaluating load distribution during functional movements (rising from a chair, squats, vertical jump, etc.)
  • Load cell: for performing maximum voluntary isometric contraction tests to identify potential muscle strength deficits.
  • GNRB: arthrometer for evaluating anterior tibial displacement relative to the femur to assess anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) function.
  • Delos: for assessing proprioceptive function of the lower limbs and spine.
  • Surface electromyography: for information on muscle activation and intensity of their activity during motor tasks.
  • K4B2: for information on muscle activation and intensity of their activity during motor tasks with a metabolimeter that enables assessment of gas exchange (O2/CO2) during motor tasks such as running.

The Villa Stuart Clinic is affiliated with major insurance companies and supplementary health care funds.
