  • Wrist Fracture – Advice Following Removal of Your Cast
    Wrist Fracture – advice following removal of your cast A plaster cast usually prevents a fracture from moving, but allows your fingers to move. The cast also reduces pain. What to expect It usually takes four to six weeks for new bone to form to heal your fracture. When the cast is removed most people find that their wrist is stiff, weak and uncomfortable to start with. It may also be prone to swelling and the skin dry or flaky, this is quite normal. It is normal to get some pain after your fracture. If you need painkillers you should take them as prescribed as this will allow you to do your exercises and use your wrist for light activities. You can ask a Pharmacist about over the counter painkillers. If your pain is severe, continuous or excessive you should contact your GP. The new bone gradually matures and becomes stronger over the next few months. It is likely to be tender and may hurt if you bang it. The muscles will be weak initially, but they should gradually build up as you start to use your hand and wrist. When can I start to use my hand and wrist? It is important to try and use your hand and wrist as normally as possible. Start with light activities like fastening buttons, washing your face, eating, turning the pages of books over etc. Build up as pain allows. Avoid lifting a kettle for 4 weeks If I have been given a Wrist splint You may have been given a wrist splint to wear.

  • Wrist Fracture
    Hand Conditions: WRIST FRACTURE A wrist fracture is a break in one or more of the bones in the wrist. The wrist is made up of the two bones in the forearm called the radius and the ulna. It also includes eight carpal bones. The carpal bones lie between the end of the forearm bones and the bases of the fi ngers. The most commonly fractured carpal bone is called the scaphoid or navicular bone. This fact sheet will focus on fractures of the carpal bones of the wrist. Causes A wrist fracture is caused by trauma to the bones in the wrist. Trauma may be caused by: • Falling on an outstretched arm • Direct blow to the wrist • Severe twist of the wrist Risk Factors Factors that increase your chance of developing a wrist fracture include: • Participating in contact sports, such as football or soccer • Participating in activities such as in-line skating, skateboarding, or bike riding • Participating in any activity which could cause you to fall on your outstretched hand • Violence or high-velocity trauma, such as an automobile accident Symptoms If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume they are due to a wrist fracture. Symptoms of a wrist fracture include. • Pain • Swelling and tenderness around the wrist • Bruising around the wrist • Limited range of wrist or thumb motion • Visible deformity in the wrist For more information visit us online at www.ptandme.com Hand Conditions: WRIST FRACTURE Diagnosis Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, physical activity, and how the injury occurred. The injured area will be examined.

  • Stretching and Positioning Regime for Upper Limb
    Information for patients and visitors Stretching and Positioning Regime for Upper Limb Physiotherapy Department This leaflet has been designed to remind you of the exercises you Community & Therapy Services have been taught, the correct techniques and who to contact with any queries. For more information about our Trust and the services we provide please visit our website: www.nlg.nhs.uk Information for patients and visitors Muscle Tone Muscle tone is an unconscious low level contraction of your muscles while they are at rest. The purpose of this is to keep your muscles primed and ready to generate movement. Several neurological causes may change a person’s muscle tone to increase or decrease resulting in a lack of movement. Over time, a lack of movement can cause stiffness, pain, and spasticity. In severe cases this may also lead to contractures. Spasticity Spasticity can be defined as a tightening or stiffness of the muscle due to increased muscle tone. It can interfere with normal functioning. It can also greatly increase fatigue. However, exercise, properly done, is vital in managing spasticity. The following tips may prove helpful: • Avoid positions that make the spasticity worse • Daily stretching of muscles to their full length will help to manage the tightness of spasticity, and allow for optimal movement • Moving a tight muscle to a new position may result in an increase in spasticity. If this happens, allow a few minutes for the muscles to relax • When exercising, try to keep head straight • Sudden changes in spasticity may

  • Stroke Arm and Hand Management Stroke Symposium 2013 Shannon Mulholland P.T
    Stroke Arm and Hand Management Stroke Symposium 2013 Shannon Mulholland P.T. Objectives Participants will have a greater understanding of: 1. Problems often associated with the stroke arm and hand 2. Goals of positioning the stroke arm and hand 3. Basic guidelines for stroke arm and hand positioning and management * in wheelchair, when dressing, during transfers, during walking, in bed Common Arm Problems after Stroke Muscle imbalances – high tone, spasticity, over activity, stiffness - low tone, flaccidity, inactivity, heavy Altered sensory abilities – touch, temperature, pain, neglect Complications from these Problems 1. Shoulder Subluxation Effects of a stroke can reduce the strength and tone of the muscles supporting the shoulder joint. As a result, gravity can drag the head of the humerus down, overstretching the weakened muscles. This may cause the shoulder to move out of alignment. It may even cause a partial dislocation (subluxation). Complications from these Problems 2. Decreased Range of Motion – active and passive High muscle tone can pull the arm and hand toward the chest wall, making it extremely difficult for the stroke survivor to move in the opposite direction. Complications from these Problems 3/4 Swelling – impaired circulation, immobility, low toned hands Pain – impingement due to alignment problems, swelling, sensory changes, spastic muscles Many reasons to make the stroke arm and hand management a priority! Goals of Positioning the Stroke Arm and Hand Preserve normal body alignment Reduce risk for shoulder subluxation Reduce risk for pressure sores Reduce pain Change abnormal muscle tone patterns associated with stroke Increase awareness of the affected side Enhance ability to rest and sleep You Can Help Prevent or Help Manage these Problems and Complications! Sitting Support the arm and hand on a lap tray or other supporting surface such as a pillow when sitting in a wheelchair.
