Brief Summary

This trial aims to develop and test the efficacy of a digital media based physical therapy protocol on patients after surgical fixation and non-operative treatment of distal radius fractures.It is hypothesized that there will not be a difference in outcomes for patients after surgical fixation of distal radius fractures with traditional physical therapy and digital media based therapy

Study Arms (2)

Digital Media Therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

The digital media based group will receive a modified post immobilization protocol. This will include giving the patients a Universal Serial Bus (USB) drive loaded with a 12 week physical therapy protocol presented in digital form with videos and graphical representations of exercises to be done. They will also have access to the videos and multimedia on the Oregon Health \& Science University website.

Other: Digital Media Based Physical Therapy

Traditional Therapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The traditional group will have clinic-based physical therapy protocol.

Other: Traditional Physical Therapy
