Fracture leg muscle atrophy recovery

1. Early rehabilitation training In the early stage of fracture treatment, under the premise of not affecting fracture healing, active muscle contraction and joint activity should be started as soon as possible. Active contraction can promote muscle blood circulation and reduce the degree of muscle atrophy. For example, toe flexion and extension activities, small range of ankle activities, etc. 2. Physical treatment includes electrical stimulation, ultrasound, etc., these methods can stimulate muscle contraction, help maintain muscle function and volume. Electrical stimulation stimulates muscle contraction through electrical current to prevent further muscle atrophy; ultrasound can improve local tissue metabolism. 3. Gradually increase the amount of exercise with the healing of fractures, gradually increase the amount of exercise and exercise intensity. You can start from simple bedside activities and gradually transition to standing, walking, etc. This can gradually enhance muscle strength and restore muscle volume. 4. Nutritional support ensures adequate intake of nutrients such as protein to provide a material basis for muscle recovery. Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth. 5. Regular review and evaluation Regular review at the hospital to assess muscle recovery and adjust the rehabilitation plan in time according to the doctor's recommendations. Doctors can accurately judge the recovery progress through professional examination methods to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the rehabilitation process.
