Elbow Passive Motion Rehabilitation Utilizing a Continuous Passive Motion Device following Surgical Release, Manipulation Under Anesthesia, or Post Stable Fracture: A Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Background Post-operative rehabilitation of the elbow following a stable fracture, surgical release or manipulation under anesthesia consists of a period of passive motion (PM) to prevent adhesions, the detrimental effects of immobilization, reduce pain, reduce inflammation and increase range of motion to a functional level. Continuous passive motion (CPM) devices have been used routinely as a PM modality.

Elbow CPM Following a Stable Intra-Articular Fracture
CPM after a stable fracture has been used extensively in the elbow.9,19,20,21,22,28,30,43,46,48 The initial goal of therapy following a stable fracture is to maintain the range-of-motion. If passive motion is not started within the first 48 hours the prognosis for improvement is significantly diminished.10 O’Driscoll and Giori36 have demonstrated that CPM immediately following a surgical proced...

Results: Rehabilitation programs following anterior shoulder instability procedures utilizing passive motion provided by a CPM device, a physical therapist, or patient selfdirected exercises can be found in the literature. However, no outcome studies on these rehabilitation protocols have been found. Therefore, in light of no unanimity of opinion, rehabilitation programs need to be based on sou...

BACKGROUND The elbow is prone to stiffness after trauma. To regain functional elbow motion several conservative- and surgical treatment options are available. Conservative treatment includes physical therapy, intra-articular injections with corticosteroids and a static progressive or dynamic splinting program. If conservative treatment fails, an operative release of the posttraumatic stiff elbo...

Background: Techniques that allow early muscle activation, such as closed kinetic chain (CKC) and open kineticchain (OKC) exercises, may play a beneficial role in the early rehabilitation of the reconstructed knee. However,current rehabilitation regimens have not been shown to reverse post-operative quadriceps activation failureand weakness. To investigate whether patients who use a continuous ...
