The day before the operation, a lesson is held with an exercise therapy instructor.
Tasks:
- training in breathing exercises, remedial gymnastics in the early postoperative period;
- learning to walk with walkers and crutches on a flat surface and on stairs;
- training in motor skills and self-care skills that will be needed after the operation (sitting down, getting out of bed, putting on shoes).
All this makes it easier to get up, standing, and walking after surgery, relieves feelings of fear and instills confidence based on the acquired skills.
