Physical Therapy Management in a Severe Case of Overlapping of Bone Post Crush Injury: A Case Report

Abstract

Crush injuries are sustained due to high velocity and usually have a poor outcome. Since the compressive forces are of high energy, such injuries are usually seen in road traffic accidents or in industrial workers. Crush injuries of the hand account for relatively a smaller percentage of the injuries to the hand and include an open wound along with fracture dislocation of the carpometacarpal, interphalangeal, and radiocarpal joints. Since these injuries are uncommon, they are often overlooked in radiological findings or misdiagnosed. Their recognition depends on a careful physical and radiographic examination that may require trispiral computed tomograms. Physical therapy rehabilitation post-surgery becomes a necessity, especially in cases where the dominant hand is affected. Functional rehabilitation to improve the independence and efficiency of activities of daily living is a goal of utmost importance.

Revitalizing Recovery: Unveiling the Transformative Impact of Physiotherapy in Rehabilitating a Neglected Case of Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty

“…In addition to using electrical stimulation, there was the contribution of exercises that focused on muscle activation in the initial stages, which combined gave an improved functional response. The entire treatment protocol played a crucial role in reducing pain and boosting muscle strength, thereby increasing and enhancing ranges and functional self-dependence, and quality of life in patients with total shoulder hemiarthroplasty [7][8][9][10].…”

The Impact of Physical Therapy in Individuals With Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: A Case Report

“…Canalith repositioning maneuver (CRM) also known as Epley’s maneuver aims to alleviate the underlying physical pathology without exhausting the individual as vestibular habituation exercises do. By timing and co-ordinating precise head and body motions, these procedures aim to cause the particles to migrate from the posterior semicircular canal, across the common crus into the utricle [ 5 , 10 ].…”
