Rehabilitation training for femoral fracture

Rehabilitation training for femoral fractures is very important. The femur is the longest bone in the human body. Its main function is to support walking. Sometimes, it is prone to fractures under the influence of external force. After a fracture, the patient needs to rest for a long time and stay in bed unable to walk. The thigh muscles will atrophy if they are not exercised. Rehabilitation training for femoral fractures can help us walk and live normally in the future.

Rehabilitation training after femoral fracture mainly involves flexion and extension training of the hip and knee joints and strength training of the lower limb muscles. There is nothing special about the training method, just do more flexion and extension movements and squatting movements. Rehabilitation training requires patience and perseverance, and it should be gradual, steady and progressive. Don't be impatient and expect to achieve success in one stroke! After the internal fixation surgery for femoral fracture, as long as the fracture is healed, the internal fixation plate will generally be removed about one year after the surgery, because ordinary internal fixation plates including screws are foreign bodies to the human body after all, and they will more or less affect human tissues. Of course, with the development of materials science, the more advanced fracture internal fixation materials currently used in clinical practice are very compatible with human tissues and will not cause any impact on human tissues. If this type of material is used for fracture internal fixation, there is no need to perform surgery to remove it!

Legal position: Sit on a chair, support your knees with your hands, place your feet shoulder-width apart, and extend your left leg to the left and your right leg to the right, fully extending and adducting at the same time. 300 times a day, divided into 3-4 times.

②Standing leg-lifting method: Hold onto a fixed object with your hands, keep your body upright, lift the affected leg so that your body and thigh are at right angles, and your thigh and calf are at right angles, and repeat the movement. 300 times a day, divided into 3-4 times.

③ Lying leg-lifting method: Lie on your back and lift the affected leg so that the upper and lower legs are in a straight line and at a right angle to the body. Repeat the movement. 100 times a day, divided into 3-4 times.

④ Squatting with support: Hold onto a fixed object with your hands, stand upright, spread your feet apart, squat and then stand up, repeating the action. Do it 3-4 times a day.

⑤ Internal rotation and abduction method: Hold on to a fixed object with your hands, and do full internal rotation, abduction, and circle movements for both legs. 300 times a day, divided into 3-4 sessions.

⑥Persist in training walking with crutches or exercising by cycling.
