AFA Limb Lengthening Center
Accommodation
AFA Limb Lengthening Center provides specially designed, comfortable accommodations for patients during the lengthening period. Available in 1+0, 1+1, and 2+1 configurations, the rooms are thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of patients with mobility challenges. All rooms are wheelchair- and walker-friendly, with wide doorways and accessible bathroom facilities tailored for disabled use. This ensures patients can move comfortably and safely throughout their stay.
Each room is equipped with a full kitchen, including a washing machine, dishwasher, oven, and microwave, offering convenience for long-term stays. This allows patients to maintain independence and comfort during their recovery. Emergency buttons located by the bedside and in the bathroom are connected directly to the on-site infirmary’s nurse station, ensuring rapid response in case of any health emergencies. Nurses can quickly reach and assist patients at any time, providing an added layer of safety.
Being within the same building as the AFA Limb Lengthening Center, patients have immediate access to the center’s comprehensive services. These include physical therapy, hydrotherapy, and gym facilities, making the rehabilitation process more seamless. The entire AFA healthcare and patient care team is also based within the center, ensuring that patients receive consistent, 24/7 support throughout their lengthening journey. This holistic approach creates a comfortable, secure environment that fosters both physical recovery and peace of mind.
Physical Therapy Center
The AFA Limb Lengthening Center has a state-of-the-art physiotherapy center designed to support patients throughout their recovery. Located in the same building as the accommodation, patients can easily attend daily therapy sessions without needing to travel. This convenience makes it easier for patients to stay consistent with their rehabilitation program.
A team of expert AFA physiotherapists, specializing in limb lengthening recovery, provides personalized treatments to help patients regain mobility and strength. The center is equipped with everything needed for recovery, including manual therapy, customized exercises, electrotherapy for pain relief, ultrasound therapy for soft tissue and bone healing, and cold and hot treatments to reduce swelling and increase healing.
These therapies help improve movement, reduce discomfort, and prevent complications like stiffness or muscle tightness. With advanced equipment and a patient-focused approach, the AFA physiotherapy center ensures that each patient receives the best care for a smooth and successful recovery.
Hydrotherapy Pool
The AFA Limb Lengthening Center features a specially designed hydrotherapy pool to aid in the recovery process. Located within the center, the pool is fully accessible and adapted for limb lengthening patients, making it easy for individuals using walkers or wheelchairs to enter and exit safely.
Hydrotherapy is a key component of the rehabilitation program, as the buoyancy of water significantly reduces body weight, allowing patients to perform exercises with greater ease and less strain on their joints and muscles. During the lengthening period, patients using the internal method (PRECICE) benefit from hydrotherapy sessions under the guidance of experienced physiotherapists. The water’s therapeutic effects help reduce pain, swelling, and promote faster healing by improving circulation and relieving pressure on the limbs. For patients using the LON method, hydrotherapy begins after the removal of the fixator, offering similar benefits and enhancing recovery.
This tailored approach to hydrotherapy ensures that each patient receives the appropriate care based on their individual treatment plan, supporting a smoother, more effective rehabilitation journey.
Infarmary and Emergency Area
The AFA Limb Lengthening Center offers comprehensive 24/7 infirmary services to ensure patients receive immediate medical care throughout their recovery. The infirmary is equipped with a doctor's examination room, dressing room, and an emergency intervention area for handling urgent situations. A professional nurse is always on-site, ready to respond to emergencies. Each patient room is connected to the infirmary via an emergency button, allowing the nurse to be called instantly for quick intervention.
The infirmary is designed to provide sterile dressings, Intranenous(IV) medicines applications, and emergency treatments as prescribed by the doctor. Whether it’s administering IV medications, handling complications, or offering post-operative care, the facility ensures patients receive prompt medical attention. Immediate care is particularly crucial in the early stages after limb lengthening surgery, and with the infirmary located within the center, patients benefit from round-the-clock health services, improving safety and recovery outcomes.
