Rehabilitation training for elbow dislocation includes active activities of adjacent joints, passive training and active training of elbow joints.
1. Active activities of adjacent joints: elbow dislocation should be immediately reset and fixed, and wrist joint activities can be started immediately after reset and fixed. For example, complete the fist-clenching exercise 500-1000 times a day, and each time you need to hold tight for 5 seconds. Take the initiative to flex and extend the interphalangeal joints and shoulder joints to prevent joint stiffness, muscle adhesion and muscle atrophy.
2. Elbow joint passive training: after the removal of external fixation devices, patients can carry out passive elbow joint activities with the help of family members, and can also be in the forearm area or the wrist joint area, tied to the appropriate weight of sandbags, and then the elbow joint is placed in the position of restricted activities, through the continuous downward pressure of the sandbags, will be able to help the patient to gradually expand the mobility of the elbow joint.
3. Active elbow joint training: After a period of recovery, active elbow flexion and extension activities can be carried out, such as hand-held dumbbell exercises, in order to restore muscle strength and elbow joint function.
In the whole process of elbow joint rehabilitation training, intermittent cold compresses should be insisted on, which can reduce swelling and favor the elbow joint for rehabilitation training. It is recommended to carry out rehabilitation therapy under the guidance of a physician to avoid injury caused by improper operation of self-exercise.
