Sally Pearson's rehab on her shattered wrist has been a tough slog, but the Olympic 100m hurdles champion says it's slowly improving.
Pearson had multiple surgeries on what doctors described as a severe "bone explosion" sustained in her heavy fall at the Diamond League meet in Rome last month.
Having ruled herself out of August's world athletics championships in Beijing, the London 2012 gold medallist reset her focus on getting right to defend her title in Rio next year.
"There's still not a lot of movement there, but it's getting better every day," Pearson told the Seven Network on Friday.
"I unfortunately have to do all this rehab work, but if it's the only way that I can get better and get back for next year for the Olympic Games then I have to do it.
"It's getting better and all I'm focusing on is the road to recovery and looking forward, and hopefully being on top of the podium again next year."
At the time Pearson said her fall was caused by a feeling in a calf muscle that was later revealed as a minor tear.
The two-time Olympian said at one stage she feared she would have to have her wrist amputated when it turned blue shortly after her fall.
