Rehabilitation after Elbow Replacement
Rehabilitation after elbow replacement involves a structured program to restore movement and strength in the arm. Initially, physical therapy focuses on gentle exercises to improve range of motion and reduce stiffness. Gradually, exercises become more challenging to rebuild strength and function. Patients may also work on daily activities to enhance their independence. It's important to follow the therapist's guidance and remain consistent with exercises for optimal recovery. Typically, rehabilitation lasts several weeks to months, with progress monitored to ensure a safe return to normal activities. Patience and commitment are key to a successful recovery.
