Department of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy: At Sarvodaya Multispeciality & Cancer Hospital, Hisar, we offer physiotherapy services to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout the lifespan. This includes providing services in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by ageing, injury, diseases, disorders, conditions or environmental factors. Functional movement is central to what it means to be healthy.

Physiotherapy is concerned with identifying and maximizing quality of life and movement potential within the spheres of promotion, prevention, treatment/intervention, habilitation and rehabilitation. This encompasses physical, psychological, emotional and social wellbeing. Physical therapy involves the interaction between the physical therapist, patients/clients, other health professionals, families, caregivers and communities in a process where movement potential is assessed and goals are agreed upon, using knowledge and skills unique to physical therapists.

Physiotherapists can help patients through the following process:

• Undertake a comprehensive examination/assessment of the patient/client or needs of a client group
• Evaluate the findings from the examination/assessment to make clinical judgments regarding patients/clients
• Formulate a diagnosis, prognosis and plan
• Provide consultation within their expertise and determine when patients/clients need to be referred to another healthcare professional
• Implement a physical therapist intervention/treatment programme
• Determine the outcomes of any interventions/treatments
• Make recommendations for self-management

Dietetics Department:

Dietitians are the only qualified health professionals that assess, diagnose and treat dietary and nutritional problems at an individual and wider public-health level. They work with both healthy and unwell people. Dietitians use the most up-to-date public health and scientific research on food, health and disease which they translate into practical guidance to enable people to make appropriate lifestyle and food choices.

Our dietitians cover a variety of nutritional concerns that arise in the mental health population including, but certainly not limited to, the following:

• Malnutrition
• Hydration
• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Cardiovascular disease
• Eating disorders
• Dysphagia
• Gastrointestinal disease
• Specialty diets
• Bone health
• Pressure sores/wound healing
• Chronic kidney disease

The Dietitians work on an individual level to assess nutritional needs (based on a review of medical and diet history, blood tests, weight and weight trends, and other physical measurements).

Dietitians then educate and support the service user to establish realistic short term and long term goals, guiding them with information and techniques to stay on track with their nutritional care plan. They provide ongoing support to both service users and their carers.

The various dietetic charts have been framed as per the requirements of the normal, diabetic & disease specific patients.
