[Range of motion in the joints of the upper extremity at different stages of sympathetic reflex dystrophy (SRD)].
Sympathetic reflex dystrophy of the upper extremity is among the most serious complications of trauma injuries. The aim of this paper was to assess the effectiveness of mobilization treatment, augmented by cryogenic temperatures of post trauma SRD of the upper extremity. The material comprised 113 patients treated at the Orthopedic Outpatient Clinic of the J. Babiński Hospital in Breslau during the years 1987-1995. All patients underwent conservative treatment because of post trauma SRD. The effectiveness of cryo-therapy was based on pre- and post-therapy ROM examination. These results were compared to the ROM of the healthy extremity and the degree of ROM limitation was hence calculated. Limitation of ROM was found in all joints of the upper extremity regardless to the stage of the disease. The greatest limitations were found in the joints directly adjacent to the area were the disease was most pronounced. The applied therapy in these cases was found to increase ROM in all patients, with the greatest increase of ROM during stage I and II of the disease.
