Patient's question:
I have a friend who accidentally broke his arm a few weeks ago. In this period, the joints of the arm have been a bit stiff. I would like to ask about the methods of rehabilitation training for arm fractures. What kind of help do I want: methods of rehabilitation training for arm fracturesDoctor's answer:
Hello, after a fracture, due to long-term immobilization, local traumatic factors can lead to joint contracture and stiffness, requiring functional exercise. In this case, it is recommended to actively perform joint flexion and extension exercises, starting with passive movements and gradually progressing to active ones, to avoid forceful movements. Heat application can be done before exercising. You should visit the hospital every week for follow-up checks to monitor the exercise effects and receive guidance. Rest is important during the day, avoid overexertion, and do not engage in strenuous exercise—progress gradually.
