Dr. Yu-Kai Yang is a board-certified physiatrist providing medical care in Changhua, Nantou, and Erlin. His clinical care covers sports injuries, rehabilitation after trauma and fractures, and postoperative functional recovery. He provides individualized assessment and rehabilitation planning for pain, joint stiffness, muscle weakness, and limitations in daily activities.
Sports injury assessment considers how the injury occurred, exercise habits, and training load, together with a physical examination. Musculoskeletal ultrasound may be used when needed to assist in evaluating problems involving muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Treatment options are discussed according to the diagnosis and individual needs, including activity modification, rehabilitation exercises, and ultrasound-guided injections. Prolotherapy and PRP treatment require further consideration of their indications, expected benefits, and limitations.
For patients who continue to have difficulty moving after an injury, cast removal, or surgery, assessment brings together the injury and treatment history, current symptoms, and examination findings to identify factors affecting recovery, including scar discomfort, tightness, and the mobility of surrounding tissues. The suitability of manual approaches such as ScarWork and BoneWork is assessed according to wound healing, fracture stability, and individual circumstances. They may be considered as adjuncts to the overall rehabilitation plan, with ongoing follow-up of functional changes and treatment responses.
