Optimizing Physiotherapy in Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva: Strategies for Improve Mobility and Quality of Life
Emile Fuh Amancho
Abstract: Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva FOP is a rare genetic disorder that leads to the progressive and debilitating formation of bone in muscles and connective tissues, severely restricting mobility. This article highlights the critical role of physiotherapy in managing FOP, focusing on strategies to maintain range of motion, prevent contractures, and manage pain without exacerbating the condition. Through a detailed examination of passive and controlled exercises, alongside a multi - faceted approach to pain management, the paper underscores the importance of a tailored, patient - centric physiotherapy regimen. Emphasizing a multidisciplinary healthcare approach, the article advocates for the integration of physiotherapists, physicians, and specialists in crafting comprehensive care plans that aim to sustain mobility and enhance the quality of life for those afflicted by FOP.
