Summary

This randomized-controlled trial aims to investigate the efficacy of Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) on function, pain, and range of motion (ROM) in patients with a posttraumatic stiff elbow.

Conditions

  • Elbow Fracture
  • Limitation, Mobility
  • Pain, Postoperative
  • Upper Extremity Problem

Interventions

OTHER

Graded Motor Imagery

The first stage of GMI includes laterality reconstruction. Patients will view and determine if the various images of body parts to image portrays the right or left side. The second stage targets activation of the primary motor cortex by imagine moving the involved body part. The final stage involves that the patient watches the unaffected body part moving in a mirror to "trick" the brain into thinking the affected body part is actually moving in a pain-free way. This will be applied for 6 weeks.

OTHER

Standard Rehabilitation

Shoulder, elbow and wrist AROM exercises. Elbow flexion and extension, and wrist flexion and extension stretching exercises. Elbow and wrist strengthening exercises. Grip strengthening exercises. This will be applied for 6 weeks.

OTHER

Home Exercise Program

Proprioception exercises for the elbow. Scapulothoracic strengthening exercises. This will be applied for 6 weeks.

OTHER

Cold Application

Cold application around the elbow joint for 15 minutes in every session.
