I just had some surgery done on my right wrist and I was wondering what exersizes I can do to maintain/build upper body strength since I can't do my usual push-ups,or anything else that involves my right hand.

God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love, a spirit of power, and of self-discipline.

I did arm raises & triceps/biceps curls with a resitance band until I could use my wrist again...other than that there is not much you can do.

oi, odd this topic coming up now, since i was going to post about my unwittingly busting my metacarpal two months ago, catching a punch, and now they're going to go in and rebreak it to have it set right. Nasty little spot, so i don't believe i'll even be able to type 'as much' for awhile. A one-handed typist would look something like, "hi, hih, on' mk n." Translated that was, "this, which doesn't make sense." :brow:

Back to greenbelt_girl15, i recommend exercising everything else instead. When it comes time to rebuild, do it with the assistance of a physical therapist, not on your own... or you'll do some nasty damage to your atrophied tendons.

Not a lot, but there is transferrence effect. This basically means that if you do a exercise/movement with the left side, there is some benefit to the right side as well, even if you don't use it.

There isn't a lot you can do exercise wise, since the wrist is such a stabilizer. I'd do a lot of shadow boxing, and gross motor movements without resistance or weights.

You won't lose too much in the time it takes a wrist to heal unless it was a really bad break with a lot of downtime and surgery/intervention.
