Brief Summary

The distal end of the radius is defined as the area three centimeters proximal to the radio carpal joint, where the radius interfaces with the lunate and scaphoid bone of the wrist. A fracture of the distal radius is usually caused by falling on the outstretched arm. The majority of distal radial fractures are closed injuries in which the overlying skin remains intact. Pain, swelling, bruising, deformity and deformity in the forearm or wrist are common. In women, the incidence of distal radial fracture increases with age from 40 years. The objective of this study will be to determine the Effects of Concentric exercises with and without mulligan wrist mobilization on pain, grip strength, Range of motion and function after distal radius fracture. This study will be a randomized controlled trial and will be conducted in District Head Quarter hospital sheikhupura. The study will be completed in time duration of six months after the approval of synopsis and convenience sampling technique will be used. 18 subjects will be divided in two groups. Group A will follow concentric exercises at wrist including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, pronation, supination and wrist mobilizations with movements while group B will follow only wrist concentric exercises treatment. MWM based on Mulligan's Recommendation that the patient should not experience any pain. The Location and direction of the glide could be modified so that the MWM was pain free, as advocated in the Mulligan concept. This study will be of 4 weeks, 3 sessions per week. Data will be collected by all participants before 1st session after 6th session and at the end of 12th session by using NPRS, Hand Dynamometer, Goniometer and Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation score. Data will be analyzed by SPSS-25.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Wrist Pain

  NPRS is anchored by terms describing pain severity extremes. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable").

• Grip Strength

  Handheld dynamometers are used for measuring grip strength. They are available in manual and digital version so there is a need to know the reliability of manual hand-held dynamometer and digital hand-held for measuring grip strength. Excellent reliability is found for manual and digital handheld dynamometers

  4 weeks

• Range of motion

  Goniometer is used to measure Range of motion. Hand-held pencil (HHP) and the plumb line goniometer (PLG) methods are used for measuring active forearm pronation and supination motions in individuals with and without injuries. The HHP and PLG are highly reliable methods for measuring functional forearm pronation and supination. Because plumb line goniometers are not commercially available and the instrumentation for the HHP method is readily accessible, clinicians should consider the latter as their method of choice for measuring functional forearm pronation and supination

  4 weeks

• Wrist Function

  For evaluating function Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) score is used. High-quality evidence supports the use of PRWE/PRWHE as a reliable, valid, and structurally sound questionnaire to assess pain and disability in patients with various wrist and hand injuries. The PRWE/PRWHE has been translated into 21 languages. High-quality evidence supports very good structural and cross-cultural validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, measurement error, and hypothesis testing for construct validity against DASH in wrist and hand injuries. However, low-quality evidence supports acceptable responsiveness property
