Exercise after wrist fracture (loco-typical) - Beginners

Exercise should be practiced several times a day with lower number of repetitions. Perform exercises with care. Exercise gradually and only after pain. Allow hands and fingers to rest between individual exercises to relax stressed muscles and relieve possible pain. For faster restoration of the original functions of the affected arm exercises should be carried out simultaneously with both hands- also with healthy one – exercises practiced in this way are in our mind evaluated as, to put it simply: "sick hand is learning from the healthy hand."

 

Care of the hand after removal of plaster cast after wrist fracture: What to do after removing the plaster after wrist fracture 

Initial position: Sit on a chair at the table. Hands on the table so that the forearm with elbows, wrists and fingers were put on the table. 

1. Hand should be bathed for a few minutes in a cold (tepid) water – 20 to 25° C before the exercise. Bath is especially good in the first days after the removal of plaster fixation.
