Mr. Tam is currently undergoing rehabilitation treatment for a traumatic brain injury at the Rehabilitation Hospital. After two treatment sessions, Mr. Tam was able to walk with the support of his family. In particular, he was able to talk and interact with people.
The most important thing for patients with traumatic brain injury is to know how to motivate and encourage them to exercise according to the treatment regimen. Because most of the traffic accident patients after surgery for rehabilitation at Nghe An Rehabilitation Hospital are seriously ill, they are in physical and mental pain so they are afraid to exercise.

Depending on the severity of the injury, the patient will be given a cast or will have to have surgery to fix the bone and suture the torn or crushed soft tissue. After a period of immobilization, the patient will have almost no movement in the injured area, so it is easy to lose sensation and show signs of atrophy in these areas. Therefore, after surgery and having to have a cast, the patient must be self-aware, persistent, endure pain, restore joint movement, maintain muscle strength, and the rate of bone healing will increase thanks to movement.
Rehabilitation methods after fracture surgery
According to Dr. Thai Thi Xuan, patients after surgery for bone fractures will recover in 2 stages:
-Rehabilitation of immobilization phase:This is the splinting and plastering stage, the postoperative stage after bone fusion surgery. The purpose is to avoid complications (ulcers, pneumonia, etc.); reduce pain, prevent edema; avoid muscle atrophy and joint stiffness due to immobilization; maintain movement of the body part that is not immobilized.

Joint movement:Joints that are immobile for a long time will become stiff due to shortened muscles, contracted joint capsules, increased fatty production of synovial fluid, and thinning of cartilage. Therefore, joint movement is the best way to pump synovial fluid in and out, nourish the joint, and make it supple. When the bone has healed firmly, joint traction can be used to break the stiffness.
Practice walking:Use wooden crutches to practice walking while the bone is not yet healed. In the next stage, use a cane when the bone is almost healed. When the bone is healed and there is no pain at the fracture site, remove the cane and practice walking as usual.
Strong muscle training: Muscle strengthening exercises such as stretching, passive and active movement, stair climbing, kneeling, standing up and sitting down...
Regular activities:You need to practice daily activities such as going up and down stairs, house steps, squatting and standing up. For hand bone injuries, practice grasping and opening your hand (use an egg-shaped stone to grasp), practice holding a pen and chopsticks, and avoid bending or crooked hands.
