Home health Outpatient rehabilitation Orthopedic Program (HOOP)
is a service specializing in the coordination and therapeutic management
of pre- and post surgical care of joint replacements. The program
provides comprehensive physical therapy, occupational therapy and

The
program may include pre-operation joint education, home exercises
education, ambulation training and home environment safety assessment

the treatment program will involve one-on-one therapy in the patient's
home to return range of motion, muscle specific strengthening, progressive

and continual patient/family education. After
home care services terminate, patients have an opportunity to continue
