Rehabilitation Principles
for the Elbow
 Phase I - immobilization (maintain wrist and hand
strength) - 6 weeks
 Phase II - Increase ROM (after cast removal)
Therapy: Ice (5 to 15 minutes)
Exercise: PREs in all directions
 General Body Conditioning
 Joint mobilization
 Flexibility
 Strengthening
 Functional Progression
 Return to Activity
 Protective Taping and Bracing
Forearm Anatomy
 Radius and Ulna: Elbow
Joints: radioulnar joint (superior, middle,
and distal)
 Bone: proximal radial head, olecranon process,
radial shaft, ulnar shaft, distal radius, radial
styloid process, ulnar head, ulnar styloid
 Musculature: Forearm, flexors, pronators,
extensors, and supinators
 Nerve/Blood Supply: median and radial nerve
and brachial, radial, and ulnar artery
