Orthoflexelbow

The Elbow Rehabilitation Application is an innovative mobile health (mHealth) solution designed to improve the management of elbow injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation. It leverages technology to provide a seamless communication platform between healthcare providers and patients, minimizing the need for frequent hospital visits while enhancing rehabilitation outcomes.

Purpose The app aims to:

• Provide personalized rehabilitation plans based on the type of elbow injury or surgery (e.g., fractures, nerve injuries).
• Ensure continuous progress monitoring without the need for constant in-person follow-ups.
• Offer educational resources, including instructional exercise videos, to guide patients through recovery.
