Question
After an arm fracture, patients may encounter limitations in joint mobility. How should arm fracture recovery training be conducted?
Answer
After an arm fracture, due to long-term immobilization, regional trauma factors may lead to joint contraction and stiffness, thus requiring functional exercise. It is recommended to start with passive joint flexion and extension exercises, gradually transitioning to active exercises, and adhering to the principle of gradual progression, avoiding forceful movements. Before exercising, a warm-up can be performed to increase the range of joint motion. It is advisable to visit the hospital for a follow-up check-up each week to assess the effectiveness of the exercise and receive professional guidance. In daily life, attention should be paid to rest, avoiding overexertion and intense physical activities, and exercises should be progressive.
