Effects of physical therapy in the treatment of the posttraumatic elbow contractures in the children.
Pediatric post-traumatic elbow contracture can occur as result of the various injuries of area of the elbow joint. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the physical therapy and rehabilitation on the range of the motion of the elbow joint in the post-traumatic elbow contractures in the childhood. We analyzed in this research 54 children (average age 9,4+/-3,15 years) that were t...
متن کاملRestoring range of motion via stress relaxation and static progressive stretch in posttraumatic elbow contractures.
HYPOTHESIS Loss of range of motion after injury or surgery of the elbow is a common complication. We hypothesized that an orthosis that used progressive stretch and stress relaxation principles would improve elbow range of motion. METHODS This study evaluated the result of a patient-directed, bidirectional orthosis that uses static progressive stretch and stress relaxation principles to impro...
متن کاملPosttraumatic stiff elbow
Posttraumatic stiff elbow is a frequent and disabling complication and poses serious challenges for its management. In this review forty studies were included to know about the magnitude of the problem, causes, pathology, prevention, and treatment of posttraumatic stiff elbow. These studies show that simple measures such as internal fixation, immobilization in extension, and early motion of elb...
متن کاملUse of elbow dynasplint for reduction of elbow flexion contractures: a case study.
A severe elbow flexion contracture following a supracondylar fracture in a 13-yearold- male was treated with conventional physical therapy and an adjustable dynamic splint, the elbow Dynasplint(R). The Dynasplint was applied primarily at night. The patient achieved complete resolution of his flexion contracture. The Dynasplint incorporates the principles of adjustable, low-intensity force for p...
متن کاملThe effectiveness of turnbuckle splinting for elbow contractures.
We have treated 22 patients with an elbow contracture using a static progressive turnbuckle splint for a mean of 4.5 +/- 1.8 months. All had failed to improve with supervised physiotherapy and splinting. The mean range of flexion before splintage was from 32 +/- 10 degrees to 108 +/- 19 degrees and afterwards from 26 + 10 (p = 0.02) to 127 +/- 12 degrees (p = 0.0001). A total of 11 patients gai...
