Study Summary
This trial will study the effect of early activity on wrist fracture recovery. 2 groups watch videos & get handouts to compare outcomes.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking adults over 18 who have a distal radius fracture (DRF) treated with a cast and are less than 3 weeks from injury. It excludes those with neurological, cognitive, or psychological issues affecting the upper limb, multiple injuries to one or both upper limbs, prior DRFs on the same wrist, surgery for DRF fixation, or ongoing hand therapy for another injury.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two groups: one receives instructions on daily activities and cast care after a DRF via video and handout; the other only gets cast care information. Outcomes like wrist function, pain level, fear of movement, finger mobility, grip strength and fine motor skills will be measured at various intervals up to 3 months using specific tests.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational materials rather than medication or invasive procedures, side effects are not typical. However participants may experience discomfort while performing activities with their injured wrist during recovery.
