Physiotherapeutic Approach Toward Restoring Upper Limb Function Post the Surgical Excision of Desmoid Fibromatosis Tumor Over the Right Upper Arm.

Desmoid fibromatosis is an uncommon soft tissue tumor that is locally aggressive and can result in both pain and limited range of motion (ROM). The rehabilitation protocol is designed to promote optimal recovery and functional outcomes by following a phased approach. Initially, the focus is on managing pain and performing passive ROM exercises immediately after surgery. As the weeks progress, the exercises transition to active-assisted and then active ROM exercises. Additionally, strengthening exercises, manual therapy techniques, and functional training are incorporated to improve muscle strength, flexibility, and coordination. The goal of the rehabilitation journey is to ensure a safe return to daily activities while closely monitoring for any signs of recurrence or functional deficits. This comprehensive approach highlights the importance of collaboration between surgical teams, rehabilitation specialists, and patients in order to achieve successful outcomes.
