Early Moblization and Cocontraction Exercises in Multiple Communited Bl-Lowerlimb Fractures (Case Report)
Multiple non displaced lower limb fractures of bilateral tibia and fibula are often more complex and involve a disturbance in locomotor function for the individual. Involvement of articulating surface in such fracture requires skill hand, suitable implants for maximal functional outcome. When the fracture is displaced, unfavourable outcomes can occur and lead to early osteoarthritis of the knee. Additionally, knee pain and stiffness due to immobilization or surgical reduction and stabilization can limit one’s overall lower limb functions specifically related to weight-bearing. Rehabilitation following such a fracture is complex & challenging. Early mobilization on the bed with closed kinematic exercises can lead to a better prognosis.
