BASELINE FUNCTIONAL & PAIN EVALUATION: Comprehensive day-one physical assessment analyzing joint range of motion, muscle strength (MMT), postural alignment, and localized pain triggers to build a week-long recovery trajectory.

DAILY PROGRESSIVE EXERCISE THERAPY: Seven structured bedside sessions focused on passive/active-assisted range of motion, therapeutic stretching, isometric strengthening, and joint mobilization.

TARGETED PAIN MODALITY SUPPORT: Bedside administration of portable electrotherapy modalities such as TENS, IFT, or therapeutic cryotherapy/heat therapy to manage localized inflammation and acute muscle guarding.

GAIT & FUNCTIONAL MOBILITY DRILLS: Step-by-step balance retraining, weight-bearing progressions, and safe ambulation training with mobility aids (walker, elbow crutches, or cane).

END-OF-WEEK CLINICAL TRANSITION PLAN: Milestone reassessment on day seven with an objective functional progress scorecard and an independent home exercise program (HEP) for continued maintenance.
