Rehabilitation after dislocation of the shoulder joint

Exercise after a dislocated shoulder joint is essential for restoring hand function. On the path of life, a person can fall, hit, adverse consequences are created. Complicated injury can be avoided if you immediately contact the clinic. The doctor will conduct an examination, send for an x-ray and, if possible, set the shoulder. After the expiration of time, the process begins in the organs, the articulated bones are overgrown with connective tissues, they will not allow constructively and correctly restore their former position without surgical intervention.

Primary state after injury

The traumatologist evaluates the situation when the patient seeks help. In a simple case, the restoration of the shoulder joint after dislocation occurs by a conservative method:

• jumped out bones are set in their places;
• a fixing bandage is applied;
• plaster cast.

The first month, the hand is treated with caution, the limb is kept motionless. When the immobilization period has passed. it is necessary to restore the mobility of the joint, restore its former ability to work, the full performance of the necessary vital functions.

Therapeutic techniques

When the diagnosis showed a dislocation of the shoulder joint, treatment, rehabilitation, exercises consist of extensive complex measures. The doctor develops a program according to the degree of complexity of violations in the organs of movement.

Restoration needs help:

• physical therapy, which at first consists of light, developing exercises, they are gradually complicated, include new tasks;
• massage therapist - a specialist with his movements on the affected area improves blood circulation, reduces hematomas, swelling, strengthens muscles, ligaments;
• physiotherapy, electrical stimulation - the procedures are carried out without medication, they are prescribed by the attending physician in accordance with the examination and the absence of contraindications.

Orthopedic structures, type, shape and necessity are determined by the traumatologist. Prior to the development of damaged organs, the doctor will provide primary treatment for the injury, further consequences and the speed of recovery depend on his actions. Therefore, it is important to immediately bring the victim for examination.

Before the arrival of an ambulance, loved ones can reduce pain by:

• fixing the hand with a cloth, bandage, scarf to reduce the load on the damaged joint;
• applying a cold compress, it will prevent swelling, swelling will bring the complexity of the operation;
• maintaining joint stability.

When the patient is taken to the doctor, he finds out the degree of damage, the type of injury based on the x-ray. If adjustment is required, the procedure is carried out using anesthesia or local anesthesia. The traumatologist establishes the presence of fractures, and only if the bone is not damaged, it is put in the place from which it came out due to the impact.

When specific measures are taken, the dislocation of the shoulder joint is set, treatment, rehabilitation will begin after a while. The hand needs to be under a bandage for a period that will be determined by the attending physician.

Why is a joint developed?

Light development is prescribed on the second day after setting the joint. The reason is the future being without moving the hand, it is necessary to move the fingers, to put a load on the forearm. It is necessary to alternately perform manipulations in healthy and damaged limbs. Tighten to contract the muscle.

Thus, the body is prepared for the next stage, which includes another, more complex rehabilitation after a dislocation of the shoulder joint. When absolute rest is over, a strong fixation is removed from the hand and it will be on the scarf for 2 weeks.

The rehabilitation specialist considers the possibility of performing a specific complex, taking into account:

• features of damage;
• patient health;
• age restrictions;
• the degree of injury by place and type;
• method of treatment;
• level of physical fitness.

The doctor and the patient are waiting for a difficult work of physiotherapy exercises, observations, constant uniform movements and an increase in pace. If you do not develop the shoulder, it will grow together as it suits it, a horny growth forms on top. When the joint popped out, he tore the old ligaments, broke the muscles.

Basic complex exercises

A healthy hand for the victim becomes a constant assistant and support. They rely on it in case of urgent need, perform parallel actions in a sitting position. At the beginning of classes, it is impossible to overwork the sick side.

The complex consists of simple activities:

• blades connect and disconnect;
• shoulder joints gently bend and unbend;
• by the minimum amplitude make a circle with a shoulder;
• slowly raise the wounded limb and hold on weight;
• fingers are clenched into a fist, pulled forward;
• retract the wrist joint in different directions;
• move their hands behind their back;
• swing their limbs freely.

Gradually, the muscles are restored, over time, an increase in physical activity will be needed. When the doctor sees fit, he will allow exercises with a gymnastic ball, dumbbells. Extend your arms wider. Self-exercises must be done with extreme caution, weak ligaments can tear, and this is a painful sensation. A rupture does not mean a roughly torn tissue, but only a thin inner hair, invisible to the naked eye, associated with a nerve ending.

Strengthening the shoulder muscles

As soon as the supporting scarf is removed, the volume of classes is increased. Before this, it is necessary to carry out a warm-up to disperse the stagnation of blood in the organs. Slightly move the hands, slowly raise, lower.

Increase the load:

• stretch the limbs parallel to the floor surface;
• take dumbbells, perform several lifts with weight;
• make a circle with a free hand, then with an object;
• take the limbs in turn in different directions;
• raise the bent arm and leg together;
• lie down on the mat, raise their hands with the ball, lower them;
• the ball is tossed and caught.

Sudden movements are prohibited, the ligaments are still weak, it takes time for a full recovery. The bone has remembered its path and can jump out again at any careless moment, harming the muscle tissue. The pain in this case will be a force equal to the fracture.

The sorcerers set the torn muscle clutch, warming up the skin with a soapy solution, then make a splint from book covers or wooden planks, tighten it tightly. In the morning they visit their wards and massage the damaged area in order to re-tie the torn ligament, restore the working capacity of the weak shoulder joint. During exercise, you need to listen to the sensations, how much the pain intensifies from increased loads, which are evenly distributed to each muscle area.

The negative consequences of physical education will show signs of:

• there will be swelling in the injured area;
• the pain will intensify;
• numb hands.

Exercises are stopped urgently, seek medical help and a medical examination. Such a state and a set of exercises awaits the patient with a simple dislocation.

Recovery in a difficult case

If the situation is more difficult and a surgical operation is performed, the doctor will apply a plaster splint for a month, and the arm will be completely fixed along the entire length. When the bone heals, the plaster will be removed, but they begin to develop the arm after 3 months. In this place, the bone tissue is especially fragile, and the damaged tissue is doubly weak.

If you start physical impact, a split will occur in the same area. When the doctor allows the warm-up, they buy an elastic ball with plastic spikes and begin a long rehabilitation. During the healing of the bones after the operation, the hand will completely lose the habit of movement, it will have to learn to work again.

Otherwise, the exercises are no different except for the duration of the recovery period. Classes begin with moving the fingers, playing the ball with weak squeezing and unclenching the palm. Muscles are gradually accustomed to tension, stress, work. If you ignore the constant daily warm-up, the functionality of the hand will be impaired, slowed down, clarity and confidence in movements will disappear.

What is the result?

A person does not think about how fragile his bones are, weak joints even among athletes. This can be judged by the number of injured people who became disabled without developing a dislocated joint in time. If all the recommendations of specialists are followed, unpleasant consequences can be avoided, but painstaking, difficult work awaits those rehabilitated.
