Rehabilitation after a fracture can usually involve static contractions, passive and active training, and weight-bearing. Until normal activities can be carried out.
1. Static contraction: after the fracture is fixed, static muscle contraction training can be carried out, as well as active activities at the unfixed joints to stimulate muscle contraction and diastole, which is more conducive to accelerating blood circulation, eliminating inflammation and swelling, and at the same time is more conducive to the healing of the fracture.
2. Passive and active training: After the initial healing of the fracture and removal of the external fixation, the patient’s family or the doctor’s help, passive movement of the joints of the fracture site, in order to gradually increase the functionality of the joints. Active joint activities can also be carried out to further increase the mobility of the joints and prevent joint adhesion.
3. Weight-bearing training: After a period of passive and active training, if the recovery condition is good, weight-bearing training of the limbs can be carried out in a gradual manner to further restore the function of the limbs and prevent muscle atrophy.
Clinically, depending on the location of the fracture, the way of recovery training is also different. It is recommended that the patient should seek medical advice in time and carry out rehabilitation exercises under the guidance of the doctor, in order to avoid injury caused by improper self-exercise.
