(20 min – Primarily to achieve full mobility)
Rotate the forearm so that the palm faces alternately up and down.

(40 min)
Squeeze a soft ball.
Put an elastic band around your fingers. Spread your fingers so that the elastic is stretched.
Stand at a table with the injured arm on a ball. Move the ball in all directions while applying slight pressure on the ball.

Stretching is carried out in the following way: stretch the muscle group for 3-5 seconds. Relax for 3-5 seconds. The muscle group should subsequently be stretched for 20 seconds. The muscle is allowed to be tender, but must not hurt. Relax for 20 seconds, after which the procedure can be repeated. The time consumed for stretching, coordination and strength training can be altered depending on the training opportunities available and individual requirements.
