POST-FRACTURE STIFFNESS

👉 Why Joints Become Rigid & How Physiotherapy Helps

🦴 Why Does Stiffness Happen After a Fracture?

After a bone injury, stiffness is common. It happens because:
🔸Scar tissue forms around the injured area, making the joint tight.
🔸Reduced blood circulation slows the healing process.
🔸Muscles become weak and tight due to lack of movement.
🔸Swelling and inflammation limit joint movement.
🔸Nearby tissues (tendons, ligaments, joint lining) may also be affected.
👉 Stiffness is normal — but it should not be ignored.

💪 How Physiotherapy Helps

Early and guided movement is key to recovery.

1️⃣ Gentle Range of Motion Exercises
Helps your joint bend and straighten.
Prevents long-term stiffness.

2️⃣ Strengthening Exercises
Rebuilds weak muscles.
Improves support around the joint.
Reduces risk of future injuries.

3️⃣ Hands-On Treatment
Manual therapy and joint mobilisation.
Helps loosen tight tissues.
Improves flexibility and movement.

4️⃣ Pain & Swelling Management
Heat or cold therapy.
TENS or ultrasound therapy.
Reduces discomfort and inflammation.

5️⃣ Balance & Stability Training
Improves coordination.
Prevents falls.
Helps you return safely to daily activities.

🌟 Benefits of Early Physiotherapy
✔ Better joint movement
✔ Stronger muscles
✔ Reduced pain and swelling
✔ Faster return to normal activities

‼️Remember:
Recovery takes time, but with proper physiotherapy and guided exercises, you can safely regain movement and function.
Move early. Move safely. Recover stronger.

💥Most concerned:
1. What causes reduced mobility after cast removal?
After a cast is removed, muscles are weaker from disuse and joints may feel tight. The surrounding soft tissues adapt to the fixed position of the cast. Pain, swelling, and fear of movement can further restrict mobility.

2. Can stiffness become permanent if untreated?
Yes, stiffness can become long term if it is not addressed. Persistent immobility may lead to joint contractures, where tissues shorten and restrict movement. Early rehabilitation reduces the risk of lasting stiffness.

3. How often should physiotherapy sessions be done?
Physiotherapy is the main treatment and includes guided exercises to improve movement and strength. Manual therapy, stretching, and gradual weight-bearing are commonly used. Heat therapy may help relax tight tissues, while pain relief supports active participation in exercises. Consistent home exercises are essential for faster recovery.

💪Understanding Sarcopenia

What is Sarcopenia?

Sarcopenia is the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength that occurs with aging. While it’s a natural part of growing older, significant muscle loss is not something we should simply accept. It can lead to:
• Reduced mobility
• Increased risk of falls
• Loss of independence
• Slower recovery from illness or injury

⸻

Why Does Sarcopenia Happen?

Several factors contribute to muscle loss:
• 🧬 Age-related hormonal changes
• 🪑 Sedentary lifestyle
• 🍽️ Inadequate protein intake
• 🦠 Chronic illness or inflammation
• 🛌 Prolonged bed rest or hospitalization

After age 30, adults may lose 3–8% of muscle mass per decade — and this rate increases after 60.

⸻

Signs & Symptoms

You might notice:
• Difficulty rising from a chair
• Slower walking speed
• Decreased grip strength
• Fatigue with daily activities
• Frequent falls

Early detection is key — physiotherapists often assess muscle strength, balance, gait speed, and functional capacity.

📝乳腺癌术后淋巴水肿｜在家就能做的自我手法引流指南

很多女性在乳腺癌术后，会遇到手臂、肩膀、胸壁或腋下肿胀、发紧、沉重的情况，这很可能是淋巴水肿。除了正规康复治疗，我们也可以学习自我手法淋巴引流（MLD）

⚠️注意：以下内容适用于稳定期淋巴水肿，急性感染、皮肤破损、发热时不要做，最好先在康复治疗师指导下学习一次。

⸻

🌿自我手法引流的核心原则

✔️ 轻、慢、柔（不是按摩！不需要用力）
✔️ 由近端到远端（先“开路”，再引流）
✔️ 顺着淋巴回流方向
✔️ 每个动作 5–10次，保持均匀呼吸

⸻

🧘‍♀️步骤一：先“开路”（非常重要！）

目的是给淋巴液找好“出口”。

1️⃣ 腹式呼吸
双手放在腹部，吸气肚子鼓起，呼气肚子回收，5–10次
👉帮助激活全身淋巴循环

2️⃣ 锁骨区引流
手指轻轻放在锁骨下方皮肤上
向内、向下做轻柔拉伸
左右各 5–10次

3️⃣ 颈部引流
从耳后向锁骨方向，轻轻推动皮肤

⸻

💪步骤二：引流患侧手臂

顺序记住一句话：先近后远，再回收

4️⃣ 腋下 → 上臂
用好的手轻轻将患侧腋下皮肤向胸前或颈部方向推，再从上臂内侧向腋下方向引流

5️⃣ 肘部 → 上臂
包住手臂，像“挤牙膏”一样，轻轻往上推

6️⃣ 前臂 → 肘部
从手腕上方开始，慢慢向肘部推

7️⃣ 手部引流
指根 → 手背 → 手腕
每根手指都要照顾到

⸻

🔁步骤三：回收再引流

最后再回到
✔️ 上臂
✔️ 腋下
✔️ 锁骨区
帮助淋巴液顺利“回家”

⸻

⏰频率 & 小技巧

🕒 每天 1–2次，每次 15–30分钟
🧴 可少量使用润肤乳，减少皮肤摩擦
🧦 配合弹力袖套效果更好
📈 坚持比手法更重要！

📝 Post–Breast Cancer Lymphedema | A Self-Manual Lymphatic Drainage Guide

Many women experience swelling, tightness, or a heavy feeling in the arm, shoulder, chest wall, or armpit after breast cancer surgery. This is often lymphedema. In addition to professional rehabilitation treatment, we can also learn self-manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) to help manage it.

⚠️ Important: The following content is suitable only for stable lymphedema. Do not perform if you have acute infection, skin wounds, redness, or fever. It’s best to first learn these techniques under the guidance of a certified rehabilitation therapist.

⸻

🌿 Core Principles of Self-Manual Lymphatic Drainage

✔️ Light, slow, and gentle (this is not massage—no force needed)
✔️ From proximal to distal (open the pathways first, then drain)
✔️ Follow the natural direction of lymph flow
✔️ 5–10 repetitions per movement, with steady breathing

⸻

🧘‍♀️ Step 1: “Open the Pathways” (Very Important!)

The goal is to create a clear “exit” for lymph fluid.

1️⃣ Diaphragmatic Breathing
Place both hands on your abdomen. Inhale as the belly expands, exhale as it falls back.
Repeat 5–10 times
👉 Helps activate overall lymphatic circulation

2️⃣ Clavicle Area Drainage
Gently place your fingers on the skin just below the collarbones.
Stretch the skin softly inward and downward.
Repeat 5–10 times on each side

3️⃣ Neck Drainage
Gently move the skin from behind the ears down toward the collarbone.

⸻

💪 Step 2: Drain the Affected Arm

Remember this sequence: near first, then far, then return

4️⃣ Armpit → Upper Arm
Using your healthy hand, gently guide the skin of the affected armpit toward the chest or neck,
then drain from the inner upper arm toward the armpit.

5️⃣ Elbow → Upper Arm
Lightly wrap your hand around the arm and gently guide the skin upward,
like squeezing toothpaste—very gentle.

6️⃣ Forearm → Elbow
Start just above the wrist and slowly guide the skin upward toward the elbow.

7️⃣ Hand Drainage
Finger bases → back of the hand → wrist
Be sure to include every finger.

⸻

🔁 Step 3: Re-Drain and Finish

Return to:
✔️ Upper arm
✔️ Armpit
✔️ Clavicle area

This helps the lymph fluid smoothly “find its way home.”

⸻

⏰ Frequency & Helpful Tips

🕒 1–2 times daily, 15–30 minutes each session
🧴 Use a small amount of lotion to reduce skin friction
🧦 Compression sleeves can enhance the effect
📈 Consistency matters more than perfect technique

🦶足底筋膜炎 (Plantar Fasciitis)

1. 什么是🦶底筋膜炎？
足底筋膜是连接跟骨与脚趾的一层厚组织带，起着支撑足弓、吸收走路冲击力的作用。如果这层组织承受的压力过大，会导致微小撕裂和炎症。

2. 常见症状
🔹晨起第一步痛😫：早晨下床走第一步时，脚后跟会有明显的刺痛感。
🔹休息后疼痛😫：长时间久坐后站立走动时疼痛加剧。
🔹活动后缓解🚶：走动一段时间后，筋膜逐渐“拉开”，痛感会减轻。
🔹过度活动后加重🏃：长时间站立、跑步或爬楼梯后，疼痛可能再次出现。

3. 常见原因与风险因素
🔹过度使用🏃：长跑、芭蕾舞、有氧操等对足跟压力大的运动。
🔹足部力学问题🦶：扁平足、高足弓或不正常的步态。
🔹鞋具不当🥿：穿平底鞋、高跟鞋或缺乏缓冲支撑的旧鞋。
🔹体重因素📈：超重会增加足底筋膜的负担。
🔹职业因素🧑‍🏫：教师、工人等需要长期在硬地面站立或行走的人群。

👉 物理治疗与家居管理建议
📍 物理治疗 (Physiotherapy)
1. 体外震波治疗 (ESWT)：利用声波刺激慢性受损的筋膜组织自我修复。
2. 徒手治疗：治疗师通过手法松动紧绷的小腿肌肉（腓肠肌、比目鱼肌）和足底筋膜。
3. 贴扎 (Taping)：使用肌内效贴布（Kinesio Tape）为足弓提供临时支撑，减轻筋膜张力。
4. 物理因子：超音波、电疗（如低周波）可帮助缓解炎症和疼痛。

📍 家居康复训练 (Home Exercises)
1. 脚底滚球按摩
作用：放松紧绷的筋膜。
2. 脚趾抓毛巾 (Towel Scrunch)
作用：强化足底小肌肉。
3. 小腿伸展 (Calf Stretch)
4. 脚趾背屈拉伸 (Great Toe Extension)

💡 给患者的日常建议
🔹避免赤脚行走：即使在家里，也建议穿带有足弓支撑的拖鞋。
🔹更换鞋垫：使用足弓支撑垫或缓冲跟垫。
🔹控制活动量：急性期减少高冲击性运动（如跳跃、跑步），可改为游泳或骑行。
🔹减重：减轻对足部的物理压力。

A cervicogenic headache is a type of headache that originates from problems in the neck (cervical spine) rather than from the head itself. The pain is “referred” from neck structures such as joints, discs, muscles, or nerves.

💆‍♀️Key characteristics
🔺Pain usually starts in the neck and spreads to the head
🔺Often one-sided (same side each time)
🔺Pain may radiate to the back of the head, temple, forehead, or behind the eye
🔺Neck movement or sustained poor posture (e.g. computer/phone use) makes it worse
🔺Often associated with neck stiffness or reduced neck range of motion

💆‍♂️Common causes
🔺Poor posture (prolonged phone or computer use)
🔺Cervical joint dysfunction (especially C1–C3)
🔺Muscle tightness or imbalance (upper trapezius, suboccipital muscles)
🔺Whiplash or previous neck injury
Cervical disc or degenerative changes

🥅A posterior corner knee injury—most commonly referring to the posterolateral corner (PLC)👉involves damage to the complex network of ligaments and tendons on the back and outside of the knee. These structures primarily stabilize the knee against outward rotation and side-to-side (varus) stress.

⚽Core Components Involved

The "Big Three" structures that provide the most stability include:
1⃣Fibular (Lateral) Collateral Ligament (LCL): Prevents the knee from bowing outward.
2⃣Popliteus Tendon: Aids in internal rotation and "unlocking" the knee.
3⃣Popliteofibular Ligament (PFL): Connects the popliteus to the fibula, providing rotatory stabilizer

🖐️ Mallet Finger: What to Do After the Splint Comes Off
Post-splint physiotherapy rehabilitation

You’ve worn the splint for weeks.
The finger looks straighter now.
But this is the most important phase of recovery.

📌 Healing doesn’t end when the splint comes off — it transitions.

⸻

🧠 What to expect after splinting

It’s normal to notice:
• Stiffness at the fingertip joint (DIP)
• Mild swelling or tightness
• Weakness when trying to straighten the finger

This doesn’t mean failure —
it means the tendon needs gentle re-training.

⸻

👐 Post-splint rehab goals

Physiotherapy focuses on:
• Gradual return of finger motion
• Protecting the healing tendon
• Preventing re-drooping
• Restoring hand function safely

🎯 Slow progress = strong healing

⸻

🏃‍♂️ Phase 1: Controlled motion (Weeks 1–2 post-splint)

✔️ Keep splint on at night or during risky activities
✔️ No forceful bending

Exercise 1: Assisted DIP Flexion & Extension
• Support the finger just below the tip
• Gently bend the fingertip down
• Slowly straighten back to neutral

🧮 5–10 reps × 3 times/day
📌 Stop before fatigue or pain

⸻

🏃‍♀️ Phase 2: Active motion (Weeks 2–4)

✔️ Increase movement gradually
✔️ Monitor for any drooping

Exercise 2: Active DIP Extension
• Place hand flat on table

🖐️ Mallet Finger: It’s Not “Just a Bent Finger”

You might notice that the tip of your finger suddenly droops and you can’t fully straighten it—
often after a small injury like catching a ball or bumping your hand.

Many people think:
👉 “It’ll straighten on its own.”
👉 “It doesn’t hurt much, so it’s fine.”

But mallet finger is a tendon injury, and how you manage it early matters.

⸻

🧠 What is Mallet Finger?

Mallet finger happens when the extensor tendon at the tip of the finger is injured, sometimes with a small avulsion fracture.

As a result:
• The fingertip stays bent
• Active straightening becomes difficult or impossible
• The joint may swell or become stiff over time

📌 Pain may be mild, but the loss of function is real.

⸻

🩺 Why proper management is important

Without correct treatment, mallet finger may lead to:
• Permanent finger droop
• Joint stiffness
• Reduced grip and hand function
• Secondary deformities (e.g. swan neck deformity)

Early care helps the tendon heal in the correct length and position.

⸻

👐 How physiotherapy helps

Physiotherapy focuses on healing, protection, and function:
• Education on correct splint use (DIP joint in extension)
• Monitoring skin, swelling, and joint alignment
• Maintaining movement in unaffected joints
• Gradual, guided return to finger movement after immobilization
• Preventing stiffness and overuse of neighboring fingers

🎯 The goal:
Restore function without overstressing the healing tendon

⸻

⏳ Splinting matters (a lot)

For most mallet fingers:
• Continuous splinting for 6–8 weeks
• The fingertip must stay straight at all times
• Even brief bending can delay healing

📌 Consistency is more important than force.

⸻

⚠️ Common mistakes

❌ Removing the splint “just for a moment”
❌ Forcing the finger straight
❌ Starting exercises too early
❌ Ignoring swelling or skin irritation

⸻

🌱 A gentle reminder

Mallet finger may look small,
but it requires patience, protection, and guidance.

With proper physiotherapy care,
most people regain good function and confidence in their hand again.
