   The cast should be worn for 4 to 6 weeks and then exchanged for an elbow brace with an adjustable range of motion. [ 35 ] After the biceps-to-triceps surgery the patient's arm is immobilized for 3–5 weeks in slight flexion, this only counts for patient who could fully extend their arm before the operation.

3. Range of motion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_motion

   Range of motion (or ROM) is the linear or angular distance that a moving object may normally travel while properly attached to another. In biomechanics and strength training , ROM refers to the angular distance and direction a joint can move between the flexed position and the extended position. [ 1 ]

4. Range of motion (exercise machine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_Motion_(exercise...

   When passive range of motion is applied, the joint of an individual receiving exercise is completely relaxed. At the same time, the outside force moves the body part, such as a leg or arm, throughout the available range. Injury, surgery, or immobilization of a joint may affect the normal joint range of motion. [7] Active range of motion is the ...

   There are several types of orthoses for managing cervical spine pathology. [71] The halo brace is the most restrictive cervical thoracic orthosis in use; it is used to immobilize the cervical spine, usually following fracture, and was developed by Vernon L. Nickel at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center in 1955. [72]

   Halo-gravity traction (HGT) is a type of traction device utilized to treat spinal deformities such as scoliosis, [1] [2] congenital spine deformities, cervical instability, basilar invagination, and kyphosis. [3] It is used prior to surgical treatment to reduce the difficulty of the following surgery and the need for a more dangerous surgery.

   There is little high quality evidence for spinal motion stabilization of the neck before arrival at a hospital. [ 12 ] [ 10 ] [ 15 ] Multiple studies have demonstrated that current methods used to immobilize the spine in the field do not improve patient outcomes. [ 9 ]
