Exercise methods during fracture recovery period

Most people around us have suffered from fractures. Fractures have a great impact on our bodies and bring great pain. We suffer from physical pain and also spend high medical expenses. Many people have misunderstandings about the treatment of fractures and do not pay enough attention to recovery exercises during the recovery period. They do not know that exercise during the recovery period plays a vital role in our body's recovery. Moreover, the recovery time of fractures is very long. We must pay more attention to all aspects during the recovery period. Here we will introduce the training methods during the recovery period of fractures.

Exercise method:

1. Promote swelling reduction and prevent joint adhesion and stiffness: After a fracture, the soft tissue at the fracture site has varying degrees of bleeding and edema, which blocks the return of veins and lymph, resulting in a mass in the injured limb. If the mass is not eliminated in time, it can cause adhesion of the corresponding soft tissue and even hardening. This adhesion can occur in muscles and tendons, between tendons and synovium, and in joints, thereby affecting the function of muscle contraction. Exercises can promote venous and lymphatic return, promote hematoma absorption, reduce swelling, and reduce joint fluid exudation. This prevents joint stiffness caused by adhesion of the joint itself and soft tissue.

2. Promote fracture healing: Repeated contraction and relaxation of the injured limb muscles can strengthen the longitudinal compression force of the fracture, reduce the fracture gap, make the fracture more stable, improve the nutrition of the fracture, and enhance the bone capacity of the fracture end to promote fracture healing. Functional exercises can also correct minor fracture dislocations and are also beneficial to fracture healing. 3. Promote blood circulation: Functional exercises can promote blood circulation and prevent thrombosis. For patients who have been bedridden for a long time, the blood circulation will slow down due to the lack of muscle contraction and relaxation, which will reduce the metabolism of tissues and prolong the healing process of injuries. Due to the damage to the blood wall itself caused by trauma, blood is prone to form blood clots when it flows slowly in the damaged blood vessels, which are called "thrombi". Small thrombi can dissolve on their own. If the thrombi are large, they will fall off the blood vessel wall and enter the systemic circulation with blood, which can cause infarction of important organs such as the heart, brain, and lungs. In severe cases, it may cause sudden death of the patient.

4. Reduce complications: Regular exercise can prevent complications of bones, joints, muscles, etc., such as osteoporosis, delayed fracture healing, joint adhesion, joint capsule contracture, joint stiffness and muscle atrophy.

The above content introduces us to the precautions during the fracture recovery period. By using the above methods, when we really encounter this situation, we can help our fractures recover in a timely and effective manner, thereby reducing the pain and torture and allowing more people to recover as soon as possible.
