It involves a tailored, multi-disciplinary approach that combines therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, education, and the use of assistive devices.

PATIENT REVIEW

Ishaan Malhotra, a 28-year-old software engineer,...

Ishaan Malhotra, a 28-year-old software engineer, was an avid weekend cricketer until a severe motorcycle accident six months ago left him with a complex fracture of his right femur and nerve damage. Despite successful surgery, he was left with significant muscle atrophy, a pronounced limp, and chronic pain that made even walking to his desk agonizing. His orthopedic surgeon referred him to a physiatrist, who recommended an intensive, multi-disciplinary rehabilitation program. For three months, Ishaan attended physiotherapy three times a week, where his therapist used a combination of gait training, strength exercises, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and aquatic therapy. Initially frustrated and depressed, fearing he'd never play cricket again, he slowly began to celebrate small victories, walking without a cane, climbing stairs, and finally, a gentle jog. One year post-accident, Ishaan has regained over 90% of his strength and mobility. While he may never play competitive cricket again, he coaches a local youth team and hikes regularly. His emotional journey took him from a place of anger and despair to one of resilience and redefined purpose, learning to appreciate his body's capacity to heal.
