I got my forearm cast off yesterday . I thought that my movement would be normal after the cast is removed but here I am for help. Thanks to Bob and Brad

@paulineannebrady364 5 лет назад

I got my cast off 5 days ago and found a printed version of some similar exercises on the net, which I have been doing, but they were not as clear as yours. Thank you both for showing me how they are done properly. This also goes for the finger exercises in the previous video.

@kendranelson8966 2 года назад

Wow! Thank you for this video! I just got my cast off and was told to do "range of motion" exercises, when I asked what kinds they just told me to think about how your wrist is supposed to move and do that! This is so helpful! Thank you

I broke my wrist 6 weeks ago and just got my cast off today. Extremely stiff and tender. I can do minimal range of motion but it sound like all of this is normal. Keep up with the exercises as much as you can and it’ll get better with time. It would be weird if we could do everything the same as we can with the other arm, right away

@3susheelss 2 года назад

How long did it take for you to get your arm back to normal?

@resident856 2 года назад

Updated?

@MaybellineBabe24 2 года назад

Got full range of motion back! Wrist is as good as new. I think it only took a couple weeks for the stiffness to go away but I did start going to the gym right after getting my cast removed. Although I wasn’t lifting heavy weight with the recovering wrist, I think lifting anything from 5-10lbs did wonders for my recovery. Keep using that bad boy as much as you can and the muscle memory will bounce back in no time

@@MaybellineBabe24 what about the smell, did it start to itch?

@3susheelss 2 года назад

In my case, It's been 4 weeks since I got the cast off but my ring & little (fractured) finger are still not back to normal. The doctor said I gotta do the hand exercises at regular intervals & not just at the end/beginning of the day. So I still don't know how much time it'll take for my hand to come back to speed 🥺

Hi Bob & Brad Thanks so much for your videos. I've had my cast off three weeks ago. I'm in England & I didn't manage my post -cast expectations very well. I'm in my late 50s & had no idea that i'd be in such discomfort & would have such nerve pain & soft tissue issues. Your exercises are very sensible & I'm tackling them reasonably well. I was prescribed gabepentin but so far I'm managing without. Love you guys.

Hi. Cast came pff yesterday. Had no idea how otiff my would be. Can't move my wrist at all. Today is day two and have just done the exercises in both videos for broken wrist ( obviously way slower than you do :)) Hope they help. Thank you for putting them out.

@susan97701 7 лет назад

@nualac.galbari6527 Месяц назад

Thank you so much for this excellent demonstration. I fractured both wrists and have a lot of pain. Right is healing, left is taking longer. Will do these slowly, taking breaks (no pun intended) during the process. Hopefully wrists will strengthen again at some point. These exercises are helping so much. Many thanks, from Virginia.

@pookab5905 4 года назад

I would love to do the exercises but cast off today and to be honest i was almost in tears from the pain even on gentle movement. I think these exercises must be for weeks after removal of cast . I am contacting my physio and will ask them what i ought to do. GP prescribed me codeine due to the pains, I never take painkillers ever. I think though the videos are really great and most helpful for the weeks/months to come thank you.

@LanceVladimirMaagad 7 лет назад

2 months ago I've involved with a motorvehicular accident and because of that my wrist got broken (distal radius, dislocated, closed, comminuted, fractured). I went thru closed reduction operation and the Dr. wrapped a cast from my wrist to my elbow. It took for 6 weeks before they conduct cast removal. Today my cast have already removed and the status of my wrist is 70% healed but I need to undergo therapy after a week. The Dr. gave me 3 exercises (move the wrist forward and backward, tilt the wrist sideways and bicep curls). It really hurts and I cannot tolerate the pain. However as the time goes by the agony will be lessen if I get used to move my hand. Thanks for the informative demo.

@sanarehan3712 Год назад

Hoe are you now?

@lindseycopp7765 8 лет назад

Thanks for the videos. The finger exercise was no problem but the very first wrist exercise in this video was a little painful for the wrist (radius) that was fractured. Should I continue to do these exercises lightly or should I stop and put the splint back on?

Hi, just wondering how is your wrist going now? its been around 8 months since you last posted, I had mine done about a month ago just wanting to see how things lie ahead? Cheers

@johnandrade8027 7 лет назад

Hi Sorry for the late response. I say, it healed very well, it was hard and painful in the beginning but i did it consistently but slowly, not overdoing it. I was worried then because of the pain between the knuckles and the wrist and the pain pulling your hand sideways towards the thumb. I just continue with the exercise and after 2 months i saw great improvement . Wishing you all the best

@CoolDaddy777 7 лет назад

thanks loads for the nice video, I glad you pronounce you are Physical Therapist. I am 10 weeks out from my fracture. You should send your video to the VA hospital and train them.

@CoolDaddy777 7 лет назад

Thanks again, your video was the help I needed. Its healing just fine and today was the first day I put your methods to the test. Works great. I also tired some machine triceps, back, curls, chest flys on all very light weight and feel much better getting back into the swing of things. I was starting to get over weight from just cardio. Thanks for being apart of RU-vid giving your free information out.

@Mullinstudio 8 лет назад

You two are providing a super resource! The videos are very informative and clear. What Im having trouble finding on the internet is Scapholunate recovery plans for a partial tear ( i was told recovery is very slow 3-6months). Given how common this injury is it's surprising how hard it is to find information - most sites just get straight into surgeries available for grade 3 tears. I'm 10 weeks in with a removable brace - shall I start ROM and strengthening if there is little to no pain? Or is it best to give it another month? Many thanks!

I wish you had mentioned right at the beginning that the wrist and fingers can be virtually frozen stiff after cast removal, and that any movement to start with is excruciating!!

@P0rcela1n 4 года назад

if I got it correct, you do exercises above and try as much as you can and no one expected both arms work the same. The idea is your broken arm will follow another in the end motion by motion, and you'll get its functions back. It's my first day after 8 1/2 weeks, it is painful but I want it works.

I wonder how can i get back a fully bending motion of my wrist. would you mind telling me some useful exercices to do ? Much appreciated!

Hey guys, great video. I fell and broke both wrist ( small radial brake in each). Though my left wrist seems to be lined up like normal, my right wrist looks out of place. When the casts came off and the pins were taken out there was only a nurse present. Do you suggest going back to the hospital to ask the surgeon about the deformity or would my therapist be able to answer this question? Thanks in advance

Hi Guys, thanks for your advice and guidance on wrist exercise, I snapped my left wrist in February and have recently had the case off and metal work removed. Your exercise plan IE really helping my recovery. I have one question for you, do you recommend, or have you every used Powerballs as a treatment aid ? Many thanks.

@nicolneo2759 8 лет назад

+physicaltherapyvideo hi Guys, I've been using the power ball since my cast came off ( 1 week 4 days), in addition to your exercises. I do physio four times a day, alternating between your exercises and the powerball. The powerball feels like mild resistance work and I can really feel my wrist muscles beginning to ache after a few minutes. Whilst I can't say for 100% it has done me any good, I can say 100% it hasn't done me any harm! In the last week and a bit, my wrist movement has gone from being approx 25% of normal to about 70%, and it's getting stronger and more flexible by the day. I'll drop you a further note on my progress in a week or so. Thanks Guys, Nic.

@suddendallas 3 года назад

@@eddie4321 Well that all depends on your physical therapy. I chose not to go to physical therapy, but if you are consistent with exercising your hand it should go back to mostly normal in 2 months. I was having some people tell me wait 12 weeks before starting strenuous exercise like push ups. It also depends on how much of a risk taker you are because even though I know it's fully healed at this point I still feel like if I crack my knuckles it'll shatter or something. xD
