Dislocated Elbow – Exercises

(4 discussions)

I dislocated my elbow four weeks ago.
I can’t fully open or close the arm at the moment. Can you suggest some exercises that will help me regain full momement?

    Ask your doc if you can see a physical therapist. Sounds like your are forming a contracture. If you wait too much longer the lack of range of motion could become permanent.

    Funny how you neglected to state you broke your humerus and have 2 screws. You have some major stuff going on there. Call your doc and ask for PT.

    Dislocated elbow – full arm cast – any suggestions for immediate exercise and then additional when cast is removed. Currently in central america on holiday.
