From dealing with musculoskeletal disorders to complex poly-trauma, encountering cases of rheumatic hand to joint reconstruction, orthopaedic centres have seen it all. While many orthopaedics specialise in areas like the spine, knee, ankle, foot, shoulder or hip, the base remains the same. It begins with diagnosis, proceeds to prescriptions and rehabilitation and concludes with making sure no future complications arise.   While the recovery takes up the bulk of the time, it’s the diagnosis and assessments that project a timeline. And that’s where physios face the most hassles. From equipment …

Many would hope that with more people having access to a better lifestyle (be it diet or healthcare), the number of ailments would gradually come down. Unfortunately, projections show the exact opposite. For example, the US National Centre of Biotechnology Information (NCBI) projected that the incidence of primary Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) will increase by 43% by 2050.   This expected increase in the volume and complexity of cases force a necessary step to be taken – effectively training the next generation of physiotherapists. And while this is a mammoth …

This is where we at Ashva, fill those shoes and make sure …

The human musculoskeletal system is an organ system that allows humans the ability to move using their muscular and skeletal systems. This system provides support, stability, shape, and movement to the body and is the body’s framework. It is made up of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, cartilage, and any other structure that helps in movement or stability.  At times, due to stress or disease, this system may fail to provide the body with maximum stability or mobility. There is a very wide range of musculoskeletal ailments that …

The depth of physical therapy can be compared to that of an ocean, deep and diverse.

Still, little do they know that that’s not the only field a therapist can specialize in. Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession concerned with human function and movement and maximizing physical potential. Physical potential can be reduced in individuals who suffer from a wide variety of diseases, hence, there …

Physiotherapy clinics have multiple hurdles to face. If you’re part of one, you’ve probably faced those issues.

While they have their individual uses and benefits, here’s why you should invest in them …

The start of any great thing begins with an unsolved problem or approach that affects hundreds of people every day. A fancy way to describe problem statements, right? But to some people, it’s not just any problem. Before we at Ashva began our journey, our founder Anmol Saxena was recovering from a knee condition. Exposed to the lack of data in physiotherapy, she was appalled by how many people felt dissatisfied during their rehabilitation.   That’s where the first steps in making a difference were taken. Ashva Tech was founded …

If you’re not assessing, you’re just guessing. Assessment is a delicate step-by-step process to interview and examine a patient to come to a provisional diagnosis. Simply put, assessment is the foundation of a therapist’s treatment and clinical decision-making. It is a skillful series of steps used to understand the current physical state of an individual. Assessment can also be defined as the synthesis of clinical findings into a clear understanding of presenting conditions that in turn facilitate the construction of a treatment protocol. The importance of assessment and evaluation is …

Today, Fitmust is one of Ashva’s best and most efficient products, taking affordable and quantitative physiotherapy to the next level. However, the road to its development was just like any other – slow, uneasy and frustrating. For a company focusing on making physiotherapy data-driven, we were borderline exhausted by how fruitless our research was turning out to be at the very beginning. It began with the very first prototype of Fitknees and the assessment of Surface EMG technology, which is presently used for neural health testing. But after multiple experiments …
