This elbow fracture rehab protocol PDF e-book is a patient’s guide to exercise after elbow fracture surgery. It will guide the intercondylar humerus fracture sufferer through a step-by-step rehabilitation protocol. The elbow fracture can be displaced or undisplaced. A displaced fracture often requires surgical reduction, but the undisplaced fracture is managed conservatively. In both conditions, the elbow is immobilized at 70° of flexion by a posterior mould splint for 3 to 4 weeks.
During this immobilization period, most secondary complications, such as elbow joint stiffness, develop. However, this does not limit itself to the elbow joint; it also affects the shoulder and wrist joints. In this e-book, I will guide you step-by-step through the protocol so that when doctors remove your splint, you will be in a better position to carry on with your life.
Silent Features:
1) Exercises are beautifully demonstrated through figures that the patient can easily understand.
2) The color illustrations make it attractive.
3) Step-by-step day-wise exercises.
