What exercise can i do while wearing a brace for a fractured wrist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Isometrics for FX: Avoid motions. Keep the fractured area well splinted. Can do isometric muscle contractions as long as it does not produced prolonged pain afterwords (over 20 minutes) and does not cause any swelling. Some bone stress might even help healing, but not motions.
