Clinical focus

The work of Perihan Yıldız centers on physiotherapy and rehabilitation within the Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation unit. Physiotherapy in this setting generally involves the assessment of movement, strength and function, followed by a program of exercises and physical techniques adapted to the individual patient. Rehabilitation programs are planned around the patient’s condition, goals and tolerance, and are typically adjusted over time as progress is reviewed. Because the needs of each patient differ, the content and duration of a program are decided after a clinical assessment rather than in advance.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation services are often relevant to patients recovering from injury, surgery or conditions that limit mobility, including degenerative joint disease. General information about robotic rehabilitation and osteoarthritis treatment is available on this site. Whether a particular approach is suitable for a given patient can only be determined after a clinical examination and a review of the medical history.

How Perihan Yıldız works with international patients

Perihan Yıldız speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who prefer another language. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries. The team also arranges appointments and organizes the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the available options. Video consultation is available for international patients, which allows those living abroad to speak with Perihan Yıldız before deciding whether to travel. Any recommendations made during a video consultation are preliminary and may change after an in-person examination.
