Fracture rehabilitation focuses on restoring mobility, strength, and function after a bone break. Recovery depends on fracture type, severity, and treatment, which may involve casting, bracing, or surgery. Common fractures include those of the hip, wrist, ankle, and spine. Initial management involves pain control, immobilization, and gentle movements. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in regaining strength and preventing complications like stiffness or muscle loss. Gradual weight-bearing exercises, stretching, and joint mobilization aid recovery. Hydrotherapy and electrical stimulation may assist in healing. Patients are advised to maintain a balanced diet rich in calcium and protein for optimal bone healing. Functional training helps restore independence in daily activities. A structured rehabilitation plan ensures full recovery and prevents future injuries.
