Sustained Relief (%)
3 / 6 / 12 monthsFactors Influencing Recovery Speed
↑ What speeds up recovery
Early Mobilisation
• Safe movement helps reduce stiffness. • Using the hand and arm appropriately supports function.
Consistent Strengthening
• Regular exercises rebuild grip, arm strength and confidence. • Functional practice helps daily tasks feel easier.
↓ What slows down recovery
Prolonged Immobilisation
• Staying still for too long can increase joint stiffness. • Swelling may also make movement feel harder.
Poor Compliance
• Irregular rehab can delay strength and range recovery. • Function often lags when exercises are not repeated consistently.
How do we estimate outcomes?
We combine insights from published research, clinical guidelines, practitioner experience, and typical rehabilitation timelines to map out common recovery trajectories. The ranges presented are general estimates only and should not be interpreted as guaranteed results.
