After heel fracture, it is usually recommended to start the rehabilitation exercise as early as possible, and functional activities can be given on the next day, but the ankle and heel bone can not be moved for the time being, and the exercise is mainly given to the other parts of the lower limb.
In the early stage after heel fracture, straight leg elevation training and ankle pump training can be carried out to exercise the leg muscles, to promote the blood circulation of the lower limb by local muscle static contraction, to accelerate the swelling of the lower limb to subside and to prevent muscle atrophy.
After the wound is relatively stabilized after the surgery, you can do the foot and ankle functional training in about one to two weeks after the surgery, which can further help the joint function to recover. Usually it takes 6 weeks after the operation before you can go down to the ground for weight-bearing walking exercise.
It is recommended that patients carry out functional exercises under the guidance of a doctor to avoid secondary injuries caused by improper exercise.
