Document Summary
20-21 ewh: review elbow/forearm/wrist/hand anatomy, outline a general rehab program. Phase 1: decrease pain, spasm, edema, protect injured tissue, maintain rom of associated joints. I. e. if you have an elbow injury, keep shoulder hand, wrist, and fingers moving: maintain conditioning, education: positioning of sling, posture, interventions. Phase 2: decrease pain, increase rom/flexibility, strength, muscle endurance, maintain conditioning, begin proprioception and rom activities. Have them do weight shifts against a ball. Flexibility: core and cardio, watch for substitutions and ensure proper biomechanics. Phase 3: maintain flexibility and conditioning, increase strength and endurance. Add resistance to prior exercises: core/cardio. Phase 4: highly specific; task/sport specific, interventions. Throwing programs: understand the forces associated with throwing specific to the elbow, distraction force applies medially: stresses medial/ulnar ligament, leads to spur formations, ucl sprains, epicondylitis. 7: shoulder girdle function, scapulohumeral function, rhythm; for every degree of movement that gh joint provides, the scapula provides half a degree.
