Elbow Dislocation With Rehab
Elbow dislocation is the displacement of the bones that form your elbow joint. Three bones come together to form your elbow.
• The humerus. This is the bone in your upper arm.
• The radius and ulna. These are the two bones in your forearm that form the lower part of your elbow.
The elbow is held in place by very strong, fibrous tissues (ligaments) that connect your

• Your arm or hand becomes white and cold.
EXERCISES
Ask your health care provider which exercises are safe for you. Do exercises exactly as told by your health care provider and adjust them as directed. You should not feel pain when you do these exercises. Stop right away if you feel any pain. Do not begin these exercises until told by your health care provider.
STRETCHING AND RANGE OF MOTION EXERCISES
These exercises warm up your muscles and joints and improve the movement and flexibility of your elbow. These exercises also help to relieve pain, numbness, and tingling.
Exercise A: Supination, Active-Assisted
1 Sit with your right / left elbow bent at 90 degrees, resting your forearm on a table.
2 Keeping your upper body and shoulder in place, roll your forearm so your palm faces upward. When you can go no farther, use your opposite hand to help roll your forearm until you feel a gentle to moderate stretch.
3 Hold this position for __________ seconds.
4 Slowly release the stretch and return to the starting position.
Repeat __________ times. Complete this exercise __________ times per day.
Exercise B: Pronation,

2 Bend your right / left elbow to 90 degrees.
3 Turn your palm upward until you feel a gentle stretch on the inside of your forearm.
4 Hold this position for __________ seconds.
5 Slowly release and return to the starting position.
Repeat __________ times. Complete this stretch __________ times per day.
Exercise F: Pronation, Active
1 Stand or sit with your elbows at your side.
2 Bend your right / left elbow to 90 degrees.
3 Turn your palm downward until you feel a gentle stretch on the top of your forearm.
4 Hold this position for __________ seconds.
5 Slowly release and return to the starting position.
Repeat __________ times. Complete this stretch __________ times per day.
Exercise G: Elbow Flexion, Supine
1 Lie on your back.
2 Extend your right / left arm into the air, bracing it with your opposite hand. Let your right / left arm relax.
3 Let your elbow bend, allowing your hand to fall slowly toward your chest. You should feel a gentle stretch along the back of your upper arm and elbow. Your health care provider may have you hold a __________ hand weight to increase the intensity of this stretch.
4 Hold this position for __________
The elbow is a hinge joint, moving in only one dimension (flex or extend), making it relatively simple from an architectural and functional standpoint. The humerus bone in the upper arm connects to the two bones of the forearm by means of various connective tissues. For a pitcher, one of the most important of these connections is the unlar collaterial ligament (UCL). The UCL offers much of the stability that is necessary for the elbow to withstand the extreme stresses created by throwing a baseball at high velocity. Its function is to stabilize against lateral forces and to keep the arm connected across the joint space.
Pain was significantly increased with flexion and extension. Sensation is decreased in the bilateral upper extremities. Strength is decreased in the bilateral upper extremities.
The four progressive resistive exercises I chose are, Thera-band tubing shoulder flexion, Thera-band shoulder diagonal, Thera-band shoulder Extension, and Thera-band shoulder external rotation at 90 degrees.
The surfaces of the joint are organised to allow only back and forth motion such as bending and straightening. This type of joint can be found between your upper arm and your lower arm, in the elbow. This type of joint is incredibly important as it allows an up and down movement, without this type of joint, we wouldn’t be able to move our arm up and down. Muscles are attached to this type of joint by tendons to allow it to contract and relax and be able to move the bone within this joint. Ligaments attach the bones in a hinge joint together, for example, the humerus and the tibia are joined by ligaments but they also have antagonist muscle pairs attached to them by tendons which allow the bone to move by contraction and relaxation of the muscles.
Static stretching is by far the most common way to try and loosen up the shoulders. I'm willing to bet that you've done. I know I have. But, Eric says that
The humerus is the long bone in the upper arm. It is located between the elbow joint and the shoulder. At the elbow, it connects primarily to the ulna, as the forearm's radial bone connects to the wrist.
...then warm muscles up with effleurage and petrissage to the clients tolerance then take each joint through several range of motion exercises and stretching. Client and parents will be shown how to continue stretching and range of motion exercises at home for in between sessions.
There is moving joints where it allows a person to either bend or twist. However, some of the joints allow us to move in freely motion while others only allow little movement at all. There are two kinds of joints. One of the joints is called hinge joint which tolerates movements back and forth in the single direction or it connects the upper part of the body, humerus, ulna, and the lower part. A ball and socket joint is also another joint that allows for a lot of movement in all directions possible like a ball in a socket (Marieb 259). Shoulders and hips are the example of the ball and socket joint. The muscles are connected to bones by tendons, bones are connected to each other by other bones itself. Also, the bones are held together at the joint by ligaments. The ligament is like a band of tissue or the white part of the muscle. Between the joints of a bone, rubbery tissue can be found and called cartilage. Cartilage is like the cushion for the bone in which acts as a shock
For doing this stretch, you need a mat for doing exercise. Lie on the mat, with your face down and abdomen placed on the mat. Your arms should be straight with palms on the exercise mat right underneath the shoulders. Now, lift your head slowly above.
Posture - Note the resting posture. Look for abnormal flexion, unusual rotation or clawing of the hand. Always compare with the other side for symmetry. In a child with hemiplegia, the upper limb is flexed at shoulder and elbow with adduction and pronation of the a...

In today’s sports world, athletes are pushing themselves to the limits to accomplish a sound victory for themselves or their team. But sometimes they succumb to pushing themselves too hard and get injured. They put them in a position where the only option they have is getting an injury. Lots of injuries happen to the leg of the athlete, but the knee is where the most damage is. Although it does not happen often, a knee dislocation is a serious injury. Being different than a patellar dislocation which is where the patella relocates to another spot of the knee, a knee dislocation is where the tibia and femur are forcibly separated. Not only can one dislocate their knee, they also can also tear their anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, and sometimes tear the medial collateral ligament or the lateral collateral ligament. As well with the ligaments be torn, blood supply and nerve blockage could happen making a dislocated knee very dangerous to the athlete who dislocates their knee. A dislocation is a medical emergency that usually ends up in surgery to fix not only the placement of the bones, but the ligaments as well. This injury can keep an athlete out for weeks or months depending on the severity of the dislocation making a long and painful rehab. Once back into play, unfortunately, the chances of them dislocating again increase making the management and rehab of the athlete even more important.
