Hand Stiffness After Fracture Physiotherapy

Hand Stiffness After Fracture Physiotherapy

Do your fingers feel tight or difficult to move after fracture healing? Is gripping objects, writing, or making a fist still painful or stiff? Are you searching for a way to regain hand movement after cast removal? Hand stiffness after fracture is common and needs timely physiotherapy.

After a fracture, prolonged immobilization in a cast or splint leads to joint stiffness, muscle weakness, tendon tightness, and swelling. Scar tissue formation and fear of movement further restrict finger and wrist mobility. If untreated, stiffness can persist and limit daily hand function.

Physiotherapy is essential to restore hand mobility and strength. Treatment focuses on improving joint range of motion, reducing swelling, soft tissue mobilization, tendon gliding exercises, and gradual strengthening of hand and forearm muscles. Heat therapy, ultrasound, and manual techniques may be used to ease stiffness and improve circulation. Early and guided rehabilitation ensures faster and safer recovery.

Perform gentle finger bending and straightening exercises, keep the hand elevated to reduce swelling, avoid forceful gripping, and stay consistent with prescribed movements. Regular practice helps regain flexibility.
