Study Summary

This trial looks at how the elbow position can affect recovery time, pain, and costs after surgery. Results expected to show faster recovery, less pain, and cost savings.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 with a distal radius fracture managed by a volar plate. Participants must be receiving therapy at the Indiana Hand to Shoulder Center or its affiliates and start home therapy between 5-10 days after surgery.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two exercise positions for wrist fracture recovery: one group exercises with the elbow bent at 90 degrees, while the other does so with the elbow fully flexed. The goal is to see which position helps regain forearm movement and wrist range of motion faster.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While not explicitly stated, potential side effects may include discomfort or pain during exercises, increased swelling, or delayed healing due to improper exercise technique.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Group 2: Elbow Fully FlexedExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

subjects will be instructed to exercise the forearm with their elbow fully flexed to achieve supination and the elbow extended to achieve pronation.

Group II: Group 1: Elbow Flexed at 90 DegreesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

subjects will be instructed to exercise the forearm with the elbow positioned by their side, in 90° of flexion.
