ORIF

Learning that it is ok to add resistance to add/abd with an ORIF at 3 and 4 weeks . 

Exercises that are good. 
Sit to stand maintaining weight bearing status.  Have them stand for 10 sec repeat 10 times.  
Clam shells  in side lining with T-band, pillow between knees. 
In supine knees flexed with ball between knees, and t band  let them do adduction for 5 sec and than switch to abd for 5 sec.
