Efficacy of early community integration rehabilitation for cervical laminectomy: A case report

Cervical laminectomy is one of the crippling conditions that has a detrimental impact on patients' quality of life. Patients thus find it difficult to achieve functional independence. With advancements in surgery and therapy, these areas can be improved. This case report describes the rehabilitation of a 55-year-old male patient. He had a cervical injury in an accident that required a laminectomy. Issues were identified, goals were set, and an intervention plan was created after the analysis. The patient had inpatient therapy six days a week for a total of two sessions per day. The patient was able to perform essential and basic everyday tasks on their own after treatment. The study comes to the conclusion that patients who have had a cervical laminectomy benefit from early, systematic, evidence-based physical therapy treatment in terms of improved functional independence and decreased impairment.

Abstract

Cervical laminectomy is one of the crippling conditions that has a detrimental impact on patients' quality of life. Patients thus find it difficult to achieve functional independence. With advancements in surgery and therapy, these areas can be improved. This case report describes the rehabilitation of a 55-year-old male patient. He had a cervical injury in an accident that required a laminectomy. Issues were identified, goals were set, and an intervention plan was created after the analysis. The patient had inpatient therapy six days a week for a total of two sessions per day. The patient was able to perform essential and basic everyday tasks on their own after treatment. The study comes to the conclusion that patients who have had a cervical laminectomy benefit from early, systematic, evidence-based physical therapy treatment in terms of improved functional independence and decreased impairment.
