I had a radial wrist fracture without displacement. I was in a cast for 3 weeks and a splint for 5 weeks. When the splint was taken off I could barely do these or any wrist exercises. It's been a month since I started doing these and I can say my wrist is at 75%. There is still soreness but have a lot of mobility again. Just keep it up and you'll see improvement.
Thank you for commenting this! I’ve been in a cast for 10 weeks, and a splint for four weeks😫 just got everything off today… this comment gave me hope because boy does it not feel like I will ever be able to use this hand/wrist again.
@@chainymykala1650 dont lose hope. You will eventually get all mobility amd strength back. I also started doing light weight exercises every other day once I got my mobility back.
@@juancayala79how are you now?
@@chainymykala1650how’s your hand

Wanted to thank you a thousand times over for this video. I'm so obstinate that even after having two rods inserted and a bone transplant for my broken wrist, I started doing your exercises BEFORE the cast was even off. (10 week cast). My orthopedic surgeon was in total awe when I could do all the exercises you show here the day the cast came off, plus lift a half gallon of cleaner in his office, along with other trials he put me through. I started off lifting an empty coffee cup and worked my way up to a half gallon of milk, also before the cast was off. If it wasn't for you two, I would have had to endure 10 weeks of therapy with people I didn't want to be with. Not my kind of fun! You're amazing! You did wonders for me and I'm 68 years old, but in good shape and hike 5 miles a day. You guys rock! ! ! Thanks so much again. When something's out of whack, you're the first place I go for reference. And love you're rather 'dorky' sense of humor. Complement, not insult. :-)
So happy to have found your two videos on wrist rehab after cast removal. I do these along with you so I appreciate the pacing. Will keep you posted on my recovery.
Thank you for the video, was very helpful-- God bless!!
I broke my wrist over 5 years ago. I developed an embarrassing dermatitis on my hands around the same time. spent years hiding my hands and never fully regained full use of my wrist. my dermatitis was cured this month and now I realize how much I further crippled myself. but now that I am not ashamed of my hands I can focus on moving them and my wrist. thank you for posting. I should have been working on pt years ago.
I got my cast off 5 days ago and found a printed version of some similar exercises on the net, which I have been doing, but they were not as clear as yours. Thank you both for showing me how they are done properly. This also goes for the wrist exercises in the next video.
Thank you for sharing these
Thank you so much this will definitely help me out a lot
that is good to hear! thanks for responding :)
thank you this really helps your the best
Thank you so much
i looove u guys! very very useful info! & what makes u so hilarious is the fact that you're not trying to be funny.
Thank you! Just using this now!!!
Thank you guys. I broke both wrists on 2 different times. I wish I has these tips the first time. Thank you!
Well Bob and Brad, I need you. I broke my wrist on February 17th, my first physio appointment is next week. This will be a good start for my sore, stiff wrist.
This is Very Helpful.
excellent INSTRUCTIONS
Thanks very helpful.
Thanks for your help. Yesterday my wrist k-wire has been removed
I've broken both legs and compound fracture of left wrist. I watch all your relevant videos for tips and find them excellent. I had the wrist fixator removed 9 days ago but the movement is very restricted and painful. I will persevere with your advice. Thanks.....
you guys are brilliant!!! Thank you from New Zealand. If you read this...... how much should I ice my wrist? After every exercise session or just when there is pain?
Hi thank you for sharing your experience with us but I had wrist surgery and took the cast off about 5 months ago and I still have range motion problem any advice plz
Thanks for the video. I have HMO insurance that’s not widely accepted and it’s taking forever to get my PT started. In the meantime, I’m in pain and videos like yours are very helpful.
Thank you
Very nice very good job how times perday exercis
A lot harder especially if you have just gotten your cast off of a fracture or a break
Mine was off today and it feels worse. No pertection
I am at that stage I am gonna use your physio. Thank u
@@donnaspixe6142 mine too, hurts more but trying to gently do exercises
AWESOME!
would these exercises help me regain feeling and movement in my hand if its been a long time since ive taken the cast off? i had my wrist broken twice (last time was about 4 years ago) and never received any physical therapy
I just got out of my cast after having CMC arthroplasty and tightrope procedure. OUCH. Will these exercises help. My wrist, and thumb hurt significantly. I ready to get this hand working again. I have heard it is a year process.
Thanks! I fell and broke my wrist. I also live in an RV full time as a camp host / park volunteer! The park ranger has been amazing waiting for me to heal! I can start hand therapy tomorrow! The VA couldn't get me in until the end of June and by that time I will be camp hosting in another state!
Glad we could help!

Can you run or jump after breaking scaphoid post 12 weeks?
I fractured my ulna and radius had surgery with plate put in . Week 4 cannot wait to do exercizes
Bob and Brad _ Thank you so much ! __
When I wake up in the Morning and feel like I have an Alien claw hanging off my wrist:.. while the water is warming for my Tea, I watch and do your Exercises, and then: really enjoy my tea.
It is interesting...Folks in Casts are drawn to you when you have reached the Splint stage...Looking for Hope...
I of course, mention your site,
My thanks again ... and for your banter to help us all get through this...

If radius and ulna breaks and plates are kept then is it OK to do or not
Please show stretches for a frozen or fixed hand. It has been three weeks from cast and I do hand some range of motion, but every day it gets stiff again. I'm currently in OT.
Ive just remove my cast now after 6 weeks no surgery for my wrist.. i did slowly the exercise but ive felt something in my wrist.. can i continue this exercise? Or rather stop?
I wish you could make a post op video for TFCC debreavment + Ulnar Osteonomy. My surgeon says I don't need PT, after I watch other patients videos at the 9 week mark, my ROM seems to be way under what it shoukd be. I was in a cast for 8 weeks, now I am at week 9, she said no pronation or supination at all, and no strength until week 12 when I get my 2nd xray. I feel like I am not progressing and I have no have PT to do, a video would really help me :) I am an acupuncturist and need to get better so I can get back to treating my patients!
just got my cast of. this video was a huge help
My wrist cast was off 3 week ago. But my range if motion is not like perfectly. I cant move my hand toword my face. If I try ist paining on ulna side.
Same issue. How was your wrist now? Is it perfect already?
How is your wrist Now?
@@annaivanescu7918 so far so good. Just don't overthink and always do the exercises.
Plz list important aspects of physiotherapy in intra-articular fracture
thanks
How many reps should a person do? Or how times a day should we do them
Do you think I should do this if I just had a ganglion excision in the back of my wrist
So glad I came across your videos! I've been in my cast for 7 weeks and tomorrow I'll be finally getting it off :) I won't be doing physical therapy since zero health insurance ...blah blah blah. :) Anyhow, I was hoping you could tell me if you think jumping rope would be good therapy for my wrist ?I love to jump rope and did it daily before breaking wrist. I really would appreciate any feedback on this ...and pray it's possible that it's brilliant for it because I miss it so much. I ran a mile in my cast last week since being so close to removing,I figured what the heck...didn't seem to cause a bit of problem. Thanks again and hope you'll reply.
Sir when i fold my wrist its make sound and painfull what to do
My Mom (87) just got a splint off for her middle broken finger. Two fingers are a bit stiff & some sleeping got swelling. Will paraffin dips help. Is so time frame 10 - 15 min.? Also frequency
Glad I found this. Surgery (titanium plates) on March 10th, my cast came off on March 18th and orthosis use ended on April 7th, but due to the NYC lockdown I cannot go anywhere for hand therapy. Thank you both.
Lenore Riegel hi, how is your hand and fingers doing now... I got my cast removed 3 weeks ago and still my fingers feel stiff.. and with this lockdown not able to get any help from physiotherapist
@@drchandansra I'm having my first telemedicine session tomorrow - I contacted the hand center at NYU Langone in Manhattan - it was at Langone I got my surgery. No reason to wait for PT. In my case, my hand is getting better each day, but I read that it takes months for full recovery. I'll write you after my session. To prepare for it, I grabbed all the squeeze balls and straps and weights I happen to find around the apartment.
@@LenoreRiegel thanks for the reply,
I have been doing some exercises for my wrist and fingers but my middle and ring finger feel very stiff in the morning and all day my hand feels tired...
Waiting for your take after your session.
Take care
I am the same, broke my wrist just before lockdown, had 3 pins inserted, cast off and pins out 2 weeks ago, still painful, on painkillers, so stiff, can't get to physio due to lockdown
@@sallymacgechan8761 I've been getting OT via telemedicine through NYU Langone's Hand Center - the exercises are amazing and I would never have thought of them - my customized programs includes easy to follow at-home videos. If you are in New York, you can also join. If not, find one in your area - it is covered by most insurance plans.
what happens when my skin starts to peel off my hand with the fractured wrist?
Dr Bob and Brad I'm a cop
My wrist was fractured 2 year ago after one month it was okay but till now I feel pain in my wrist when I do hard labour like cutting woods,morning exercise like pull ups and every time when I mess with someone and especially in winter season tell me sir what should I do?
Oh I forget to tell you I did these exercise when my wrist was fractured
I just got my cast off yesterday and I can't move my wrist to any direction it hurts. is it normal?
Thank you. This has been an excellent guide. Cast off yesterday and I was afraid to make a fist. But I'm going to carry out all your exercises every hour 😇
Ok. Thank you very much for replying.
Sir two months back my wrist was fractured. The plaster opened just a few days ago. There is a lot of stiffness in my hand, I am not able to even rotate properly.
What should I do now sir please tell me.🥺
Can we do this excersise with cast
how many times a day should I do these exercises?
Ty. I fell
Please I can't do it because still my operation new
After p.r.c. surgery can these work too?
I fractured my scaphoid a year ago no surgery and still have pain on it, I can't bend it back. I use a wrist band to help with the pain, will i be able to get my hand movement back?
Did you regain hand movement?
When I do these exercises is it normal to feel a weird feeling in my wrist? Almost like a pulling feeling or like the tendons moving around.
Yea it is
How many months will it take
Hii Sir,

Great Vid Gents! Being a guitar player fracturing my wrist isn't the best move I ever made. I have a plate in my wrist after surgery... been about 2 weeks since surgery. MD took hard cast off, and gave me a soft one to take off periodically, shower, etc. So that's here I'm at...I did your exercises for the wrist today first time. Thanks again for that. I'm also a patented inventor. So I rigged up a guitar pick to use even before surgery when the pain was really bad. I can now use another variation of the pick to play with the soft cast about 10 min. per playing session. If anyone is interested I can show you how to create this pick for yourselves. Also Bob & Brad. I can create anything that you would need for your practice as well. Maybe we would patent the best of the best for market. So, let me know about that also. I was wondering if there were any specific exercise's that would get me playing faster with ought the need for a modified pick...basically back to normal playing. Thanks, Rocko
Awesome Guys! Thanks & congrats on the patent! I know only too well how much work, time & hopefully someone else's money goes into securing a patent. I have a few variations on the pick that I can send you. Take Care, R
sir i had distal radius surgery few weeks back and surgeon put plate in it,can i be able to get back to weight lifting again ??
Sir you get all wrist movement like before fracture
This exarsis useful after wrist surgery remove rods
I fractured my scaphoid and had been in cast for 6 weeks. Doctor took out my cast yesterday. I can perform all the finger exersises as you have instructed. when shall I start wrist exersises ?
ashwin wagle that is what i broke and i was in a cast for 8 weeks it rlly hurts to move my wrist and tumb
How is your guys wrists now? Ever became normal again? I had an opp and my cast just came off after 6 weeks. Can barely move my wrist.
The guy on the right at the start of the vid looks EXACTLY like my high school Gilbert High’s girls varsity basketball coach...
I had a pisiform fracture o my right hand. My hand & arm were in a cast for 2 months. My hand is swollen & I can't closed completely my fingers after 3 weeks exercises. Any other remedies
Actually I am taking Rumalaya Forte & doing compress with hot water& practicing with plastic ball. Though I could not close my fingers in a fist.
I am 45 and two days out of my cast and my thumb is worse shape than my fingers.I still have a pretty painful wrist,lots if swelling and such.I hope I have no muscle damage.My doc didn't give my wrist an examination,before he showed me the physio exercises,but went straight into bending my wrist!I hope these moves that you show help my recovery.I do wonder if my wrist will ever get back to feeling or looking normal
I did not have surgery on my broken wrist incidentally.
Did your wrist fully heal?
Had my wrist in a cast for 10 weeks, can barely do any of these. What a pain
10 weeks??!! that sucks, I had mine for 2 weeks and I wanted to take it off in the second day, lol. How is your wrist now? Any advice cuz they took my cast off today.
I broke my wrist Sept 6th and have been going to therapy. I can do your exercises but my fingers are still swollen and tight and I can't make a fist. I looked for therapy on CZcams because I don't feel we're moving along in a good way. The same exercises every time with no improvement. If I do your exercises, is there still hope to get back to normal? I hope it isn't too late.
How is your wrist now?
The explanation about if it’s sore after an … that helps
Wow, had 2 strokes in a year, and I've been having trouble with my hand and wrist. These really helped! Thank you :)
I had a wrist fracture and trying the exercises. But my fingers barely move to do the exercises. What do I do
Keep trying em
What happens if you can't bend your fingers that well
I can not move my fingers in a good way I feel pain
I assume it’s ok if u can’t fully bend ur fingers the first couple of times
i had my wrist in a splint for 3 weeks, and im very sure you should not crack your knuckles.
How does this help? I can’t do it. We all know what our hands should be able to do we’ve had hands all of our lives
Splint pipe in wrist and fracture move. Cast remove and wires and clips wrist stiff don't turn
Are we having fun yet? Ow ow ow OW got my left cast off yesterday and have been fitted with a very fancy and expensive brace, just removed it very gently washed 4 pounds of dead nasty skin off (eww, I know!) and was able to take a good look at the lumpy bumpy mess that I call my Wrist. I had been doing some of those exercises on my own just to keep my fingers mobile, getting washed and dressed and things like that actually require fingers. I did try bending my wrist a little bit but it hurt too much so it's back to painting birdhouses again with my casted right hand. I can still flip the bird pretty well, though. The right-hand not as easily which was a Colles fracture, so that one is more of a horizontal maybe 30° bird....
I can’t do any of that
Man i feel hopeless watching these. Just got the pins out last week, but feel like ill never be able to do these exercises fully.
Hello Brad and Brad, wow I am officially three weeks out of my cast. Please help, I do have some exercises from my physical therapist for strengthening/flexability that I have been doing.

Bob and Brad never answer questions. I've gone through the feed and not a single question answered which is alarming as we're all in a rehabilitation period of some type and one needs advice. We look to professionals to self diagnose these days so can you be as professional in replying as you are in your videos.
Just got my cast off
It's so stiff!
How many times per day can I do these exercises?
i need help and someone please answer this quickly
So basically i have soccer camp soon but I really don't want to go to it. I really want to go to tennis camp and when I asked the doctor they said maybe in 2 weeks or so. So then I told my mom and she said no you're bone has to heal fully until you can do anything not this year (Because I got my cast off today) and she said doctor's are wrong and you should listen to me. I told her doctors know more than you and they went to medical school and she still said no because tennis is a sport that uses a wrist and you don't want to break it again on the same spot or else you will have to get on another cast and get actual surgery. Keep in mind that the tennis camp is two weeks from the time this comment is posted and I think that it will be healed enough so I can play tennis camp. I really don't want to go to soccer camp but they are making me go because soccer is a sport that doesn't require using the wrist but I really want to go to tennis.
what should i do ?!?!
Did your range of motion ever come back? Did you ever get to play tennis?
swollen don't go away, very desperate help been to many drs but nobody can help , help
***** I have been to three ortho doctors but said natural swollen but my case swollen more after stretch.I saw all yours hand videos I do all remedies but swollen won't go away, very desperate no infection etc normal as usual but just swollen won't go away
Were you able to recover well? My mother is going through the same thing and we are desperate too. She has a lot of swelling still.
