Introduction
After a tendon rupture in the arm, perform training to improve mobility, strength, and sensation. Conduct mobility training through daily activities such as eating, bathing, and dressing to enhance or restore basic activities of daily living. Perform non-weight-bearing grip strength exercises. Once strength begins to recover, use dumbbells or barbells for muscle rehabilitation. Apply tactile and vibration stimulation to the injured area to prevent loss of sensory perception.

When a tendon in the arm is ruptured, rehabilitation training such as mobility exercises, strength training, and sensory training can be performed to help restore normal movement.

1. Mobility Training

In daily life, patients can perform mobility training through activities such as eating, bathing, and dressing, which helps improve or restore their most basic daily living abilities.

2. Strength Training

Under a doctor's guidance, patients can begin non-weight-bearing grip-strength exercises. Once strength has recovered to a certain level, muscle recovery exercises such as squats and lower-body rotations using dumbbells or barbells may be introduced. Progress gradually to avoid re-rupture of the injured area.

3. Sensory Training

It is recommended to undergo tactile and vibration training on the injured area under the supervision of a professional physician to prevent loss of sensation or sensory awareness.

In addition to the above training methods, symptoms may also be relieved through treatments such as heat therapy or acupuncture administered by qualified medical professionals.
