Hi Fiona
Yes, unfortunately regaining ROM in the elbow is a real problem. I shattered the humerus at the elbow into multiple fragments in BOTH arms 6 months ago & recovery is very slow & limited. I have been advised to carry on with physiotherapy, but not too aggressively as this can cause bone growth into the muscles which is a non-reversible process. I find that massage helps a little.
What is a ROM brace? Is it like a dynamic splint? Can you explain what this is & how it works. It appears braces are not popular in the UK & I can't understand why not.
