Summary
This trial tests whether a comprehensive hand and arm strength training program, which includes using an upper-limb treadmill, can improve range of motion and function in children aged 6 to 16 who have elbow stiffness after a fracture. The study measures elbow movement with a goniometer and compares outcomes to standard care. The goal is to see if this intensive training helps kids regain better use of their arm.
