Rehabilitation Protocols

These protocols are meant to provide general guidelines for initial stage and progression of rehabilitation according to specified time frames, related tissue tolerance and directional preference of movement. The intent is to provide the therapist with a general framework.

Minnesota Orthopedic Sports Medicine Institute (MOSMI) staff will provide contact information for further individual-specific rehabilitation progression consultation and general questions assistance regarding specific patients. Please fax initial assessment and subsequent progress notes directly to MOSMI at
