Low-load, long-duration stretches have been found to be effective in regaining full elbow extension in patients with difficulty achieving full extension. This approach involves applying a light stretch to the affected tissues for an extended period of time (typically 30 minutes per session) to gradually increase their length and improve extension range of motion. Flexion/extension ROM exercises may help maintain range of motion, but are not as effective for regaining lost extension. Pretherapy treatments such as phonophoresis and AROM exercises can help prepare the tissues for stretching, but are not sufficient on their own to improve extension range of motion.
