Best Practice Case Studies-Elbow Dislocation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Ross Nakaji, a physical therapist and athletic trainer, discusses post-elbow dislocation rehabilitation, focusing on overcoming stiffness and restoring range of motion using the TERT protocol (Total End Range Time). This method involves 15 minutes of heating the tissue, 15 minutes of stretching at the end range, and incorporating TheraBand exercises to extend the elbow. It also includes 15 minutes of submaximal tricep and forearm exercises, followed by 15 minutes of cooling the elbow in its new range of motion, totaling 60 minutes. Prioritizing elbow extension before flexion enhances recovery outcomes.
