About Post-Operative Deconditioning in Bengaluru

Post-operative deconditioning is a decline in physical strength, endurance, balance, and overall functional capacity that occurs following surgery, most often as a result of prolonged bed rest, reduced mobility, and the body's catabolic stress response to the surgical procedure itself. It can affect patients of any age but is particularly significant in older adults, who may lose muscle mass and strength rapidly during even short periods of inactivity and take considerably longer to regain it. Left unaddressed, deconditioning can delay recovery, increase the risk of falls, prolong hospital stays, and in some cases lead to a permanent reduction in independence and mobility. Early, structured rehabilitation following surgery is essential to prevent and reverse the effects of deconditioning.
