Crossed Education in Relation to Muscle Mass in Patients Operated of Clavicular Fracture
Effects of Crossed Education in Relation to Muscle Mass, Strength and Functionality in Patients Operated of Clavicular Fracture

Conditions
Summary
The immobilization process after an operation or injury in the upper extremity causes a loss of muscle mass and strength of 0.2% and 1.3% per day, respectively. Currently, the use of cross-education, which is unilateral training in the uninjured limb, during the immobilization period, is expanding, demonstrating a magnitude of strength gain in the immobilized limb from 8% to 77% of the mean of strength of the trained limb. Despite the evidenced benefits of cross-education in unilateral injuries such as distal radius fracture, anterior cruciate ligament injury, and knee replacement, very little is known about this effect in shoulder immobilization after clavicle fracture.
