Brief Summary

Distal radius fracture is the most common upper extremity fracture with peak incidence among older women after the fifth decade of life. Proprioception is one constituent of a complex Sensory motor control process. Proprioception requires the reception and central integration of incoming afferent signals. Although various sensory and motor deficits have been correlated with significant functional impairment after wrist trauma, limited research exists on the effects of proprioception and multi sensory training after distal radius fracture.

Conditions

Radius Fractures; Hand Injuries; Pain, Chronic; Proprioceptive Disorders

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Joint position Sense (JPS)

  Proprioception using active joint position sense (JPS) has been utilized in studies to establish a correlation between therapy intervention and proprioception. Joint angle will be measured using a standard clear plastic goniometer.

  baseline-3 months

• Force sense (FS)

  Muscle strength (MS) is one of the most important factors affecting human performance. Force sense (FS) is also known as sense of effort / heaviness / tension or the force matching sense. It is the ability to reproduce (or match) a desired level of force one or more times.

  baseline-3 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Pain (VAS)

  baseline-3 months

• Canadian Occupational Performance Measure

  baseline-3 months

• PRWE Patient review wrist evaluation

• Dexterity test. Purdue pegboard
