Common rehabilitation training for muscle atrophy of elbow fracture includes passive training and active training. Muscle atrophy after fracture is a normal phenomenon, and correct rehabilitation training can effectively promote the recovery of limb function.
1. Passive training: Early passive training can be carried out with the help of therapist, such as massage, passive activities of neighboring joints.
2. Active training: After the condition is stabilized, active training can be carried out step by step, such as resistance exercise training and joint mobility training.
(1) Unarmed active elbow flexion and extension: After the fracture is healed and stabilized, the patient takes a standing position and performs elbow flexion and extension exercises, which can maintain or improve the joint mobility and enhance the muscle strength of flexor and extensor muscles around the elbow joint.
(2) Grip dumbbell flexion and extension resistance exercise training: this exercise is performed after the patient has certain muscle strength. The patient stands, the distance between the feet and shoulder width, the affected side of the hand grasping a dumbbell, do elbow flexion and extension movement.
It is recommended that patients under the guidance of a professional doctor for treatment, according to the specific circumstances of the development of training programs, do not blindly self-training, to avoid the adverse consequences.
