My 8 year old child recently broker her arm. After the break is immobilized by cast (and in her case, the pins are holding it in place inside the cast)what kind of activity is she allowed to do? Clearly no pressure or hard movements with the hand/arm, but I'm wondering does that limit her to things like jumping lightly on the trampoline. Obviously things like bike rides, etc. are out, but activities that don't hurt the hand/arm and don't risk serious injury, but are still child's play, are they fine within reason?

This is handled on a case by casis basis. Please call the office and ask for the nurse to find out what is appropriate for your child.
