In this section I have included a series of information sheets relating to typical postoperative rehabilitation regimes following many of the common shoulder and elbow procedures.

The regimes are taken from the ULTRA system developed by my physiotherapy colleague Jo Gibson and her team in the Liverpool Upper Limb Unit.

Please note that these regimes are designed to provide patients and physiotherapists with an overall guide and as such individual regimes will vary depending on individual patient/surgeon/physiotherapist factors. The guides should be used under the supervision of a qualified Physiotherapist.

The regimes are copyright protected.
