Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Hands-Up ProgramExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will be guided through a 45 minutes exercise program, set up as a group exercise class, with program modifications being made for each individual participant. In order to meet the requisite number of participants there will be approximately 4 cohorts of 10 participants. Immediately after the exercise class participants will attend a 30-minute educational session. The educational sessions will cover bone health principles, nutrition for bone health, osteoporosis practice guidelines, ways to self-monitor balance and lower extremity strength, impacts of physical activity, home hazard detection, hazards at work and in the community, postural effects on bone loading and fracture risk, and integrating physical activity in daily life. Nutritional education will emphasize the importance of calcium and vitamin D, sources of both diary and dairy free calcium, vitamin D supplements, the importance of protein, and meat and meat-free sources of protein.
Group II: Standard CareActive Control1 Intervention
The control group will receive usual care after a distal radius fracture. The standard care for a distal radius fracture will receive an assessment related to whether casting or surgery is necessary. The participant may be in a cast for 6 weeks with routine check up and x-rays to monitor the healing, at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. The participant should receive some physical therapy related to restoring function of the hand and wrist.
