Early Mobilisation of the Distal Radius Fracture

The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness of early therapy in 14 patients with a distal radius fracture DRF resulting from injury, as the study group. Assess hand function of patients who underwent surgical repair of distal radius fractures using the open reduction internal fixation method (ORIF), compared to their nonoperated limb, after 6 months of early rehabilitation.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Significantly faster recovery of independence from daily activities by the patient. 2. For economic reasons, patients often expect to return to work as soon as possible.

Participants will be subjected to functional examination to assess hand function of patients who underwent surgical repair of distal radius fractures using the open reduction internal fixation method.

Primary outcomes

  1. DASH -Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand

    Time frame: 1 day

    questionnaire assesses upper limb disability and consists of 30 questions in the general section and an additional work module with 4 questions and a sport/instrument playing module with 4 questions. Assess symptoms and the inability to perform certain activities based on health status.

  2. ROM - range of motion

    Time frame: 1 day

    Flexion, extension of the wrist, supination and pronation of the forearm using a 15 cm stainless steel Saehan finger goniometer

  3. Grip strength

    Time frame: 1 day

    Using a hydraulic handgrip dynamometer by Saehan according to the procedure to measure grip strength

  4. Isokinetic evaluation

    Time frame: 1 day

    Isokinetic evaluation of force moments of the biceps and triceps, and the muscles responsible for supination and pronation of the forearm using the Biodex System 4 Pro (Biodex, USA) dynamometer.
