Why Vellore

Why Kochi families choose Vellore for knee OA rehab

Reason 3

Coordinated review with CMC-lineage orthopaedic surgeons if imaging or injection decisions arise during the block.

Week 1

Baseline (WOMAC, ROM, quadriceps strength, gait), pain and swelling control, education on load management.

Weeks 2–3

Progressive quadriceps, glute-med and calf strengthening; hip-knee-ankle alignment work; low-load aerobic conditioning.

Weeks 4–6

Functional retraining (stairs, sit-to-stand, community walking), footwear/orthotic review, home programme hand-off.

Follow-up

6- and 12-week remote reviews with outcome-measure retesting and progression.

Every plan is individualised after a Day-1 assessment. See the full knee osteoarthritis rehab programme.

Common questions

Kochi → Vellore for knee OA rehab — quick answers

How soon after discharge can we travel from Kochi?

Most knee OA rehab patients travel within 1–3 weeks of acute-care discharge, once medically stable. We coordinate with your Kochi treating team on fitness-to-travel and arrange airport / station transfer.

Answered by Dr. Karolin Rockson PT

Do we need to book the full block up front?

No. Programmes are billed weekly. Most families commit to a 3-week block first, reassess, then extend based on response and milestones.

Answered by Dr. Karolin Rockson PT

Can one family member stay throughout?

Yes — accommodation options within 1.2 km of the clinic support single caregivers or full-family stays. We include caregiver training as part of the knee OA rehab programme.
