How to train for rehabilitation of broken toe bone

Rehabilitation training after toe fracture mainly includes toe flexion and extension activities and leg muscle exercises. After a toe fracture, the patient is bedridden for a relatively long time and is prone to disuse atrophy of the leg muscles and adhesion of the ligamentous tissues around the toe joint. About 4 weeks after the fracture of the toe, when the fracture end has obvious bone scab formation through radiographs, rehabilitation exercises of the toe joint can be carried out by massaging the leg muscles as well as ankle and knee joint activities to enhance the strength of the quadriceps muscle. The patient can also lie on his back and use exercises such as bicycle to enhance the strength of the leg muscles and joint flexibility. In about 6-8 weeks after the fracture, the bone scab connection is relatively strong, so you can consider walking on the ground with the help of crutches and gradually extend the time of walking on the ground. At a later stage, according to the recovery situation, squatting activities can be performed to strengthen the leg muscles.
