Brief Summary

The main objective of the study is to find the effects of comprehensive hand repetitive intensive strength training on range of motion and function in post fracture rehabilitation to answer the question such as Does CHRIST significantly improve range of motion (ROM) and functional outcomes in patients undergoing post fracture rehabilitation

• Goniometer

  find the ranges of elbow joint in flexion and extension

  6 weeks

Comprehensive hand repetitive intensive strength training

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention, Comprehensive Hand Repetitive Strengthening Training, include the treadmill training for upper limb with body weight supporting the using upper limb. The posture of the arm swing was to maintain the joints of elbow and wrist as much as possible, and the shoulder joint was allowed to be flexed by 160 degrees. The speed of the treadmill for upper limb was 0.3-1.2 km/h.

Other: Comprehensive Hand Repetitive Intensive Strength Training
