Possible Prognosis Adrian Sampath 00040384 Surgery is normally the next step to repairing a ruptured bicep. As mentioned earlier, due to the location of the rupture, other factors are considered such as age, use of arm (left or right hand dominant), activity level and future use to determine the next step of treatment. Due to the short period of time, I was unable to follow the case to conclude what course of action was taken. However, from my interview with the client, it was revealed that the clients non dominant hand was affected therefore I would assume a non-surgical course of action. Non-Surgical Treatment According to (Gary L Branch, 2017), there is set protocols for rehabilitation of bicep ruptures using physical therapy and/or occupational therapy once the client meets the required criteria. Phase 1 The client would visit the physiotherapy lab, and would to extend and flex the arm on an average of 10-15 days. Phase 2 The client will be introduced to using a special pulley system or therapy bands. According to the client’s advancement, more advance uses will take place between 6-8weeks. Phase 3 Once the client shows promising results, weight bearing is the next stage and exercise will be given according to the client’s tolerance. Note: During either phase at any time, occupational therapy can be used to help with swelling or pain. Surgical Intervention Again, according to (Gary L Branch, 2017) surgery is becoming less of an option. Clients who suffer from a lot of pain or limited function are considered for surgical correction. Normally clients are referred to non-surgical methods firstly and once there is a need for surgical intervention, consideration and planning will begin. Page 13 of 17
