Physiotherapy Management For Elbow Fractures. Elbow fractures, common injuries often resulting from falls or direct trauma, necessitate comprehensive physiotherapy to restore function and minimize long-term complications . The primary goals of physiotherapy are to reduce pain and swelling, regain range of motion (ROM), improve strength, and restore the ability to perform daily activitie The complexity of the elbow joint, involving the humerus, radius, and ulna, requires a tailored approach to rehabilitation . Objective measures such as range of motion, muscle strength, and palpation are also crucial . In the acute phase, the focus is on pain and edema management. This may involve the use of ice, compression, and elevation . Gentle active range of motion exercises of the shoulder, hand, and digits are encouraged to prevent stiffness in the surrounding joints while the elbow is immobilized . As the fracture heals, the physiotherapy program progresses. The timing of progression depends on the fracture type, surgical intervention (if any), and healing progress . Advanced Rehabilitation and Functional Activities • Range of Motion Exercises: Early introduction of ROM exercises is critical to prevent stiffness and restore normal elbow function . These include flexion, extension, pronation, and supination exercises . • Strengthening Exercises: Strengthening exercises are gradually introduced to rebuild muscle strength around the elbow, shoulder, wrist, and hand . These may include bicep curls, triceps extensions, and forearm strengthening exercises using resistance bands or light weights . • Joint Mobilization: Manual therapy techniques, such as joint mobilization, may be used to improve joint mobility and reduce stiffness . As the patient progresses, the physiotherapy program incorporates more advanced exercises and functional activities. Proprioceptive exercises are introduced to restore the ability to know where the body is in space . This may involve activities such as ball rolling or push-ups on an unstable surface . The therapist will also work with the patient to restore functional activities, such as lifting, carrying, and reaching .
