Exercises for radial nerve injury recovery include passive activities, active movements, and resistance exercises.
1. Passive activities: It is recommended that patients can perform passive activities in the early stage if they have weak muscle strength but not enough movement. With the palms of both hands facing each other, use the healthy hand to drive the affected side to do dorsal extension of the wrist and fingers, thumb to finger and palm to palm functional training.
2. Active exercise: after the muscle strength is gradually recovered, active wrist extension and finger extension exercises can be carried out, and some small objects can be used to do grasping or relaxation movements.
3. Resistance exercise: in order to meet the needs of daily life and work, the use of elastic band or small weight dumbbells can be used to carry out resistance exercises, to enhance muscle strength and movement control ability, and return to normal life.
The recovery of radial nerve injury should be carried out under professional doctor’s guidance, so as not to cause secondary injury and prolong the course of the disease.
