Riduzione post-traumatica del Range Of Motion e compromissione del gesto atletico: possibilità terapeutiche delle onde d'urto

Therapeutic strategies

•Passive stabilization

wrist-CMC immobilization or short opponens splints

•Physical therapies

scanty scientific evidence (Poole JU, 2000)

•Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

general or local administration

•Corticosteroid injections

risks damaging superficial sensory branches of the radial nerve (Neumann A and Bielefeld t, 2003)

•Joint protection

to avoid unnecessary stress to the base of the thumb

•Rehabilitative exercise

to strengthen muscles of the thenar eminence (1st and 2nd stage Nalebuff class)

•Surgical intervention


	Con splint con blocco del polso o a polso libero
	Although NSAIDS are valuable for reducing inflammation and pain their effects are only palliative. Clinical trials have shown that no one NSAID is more effective in treating arthritis than another.
