About

Surgically and conservatively treated distal radius fractures followed for six month. In this period 12 weeks rehabilitation programme applied for each group. Nine different evaluations were done in the initial, after physical therapy and 6th month. Results were presented.

Full description

Distal radius fracture (DRF) affects overall health status. The International Classification of Function (ICF) based approach is appropriate in the management of DRF. The purpose of this study was to investigate functional status and activity participation levels of DRF patients.

The patients were divided into conservative and surgical groups and were admitted to 12-weeks rehabilitation period. The evaluation of the body function and structure were done with Visual Analogue Scale, algometer, range of motion (ROM) and grip strength. Also, radiographic evaluations were done. Activity participation assessments were done with Push-Off Test (POT), Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHOQ), Short Form of Disabilities of Arm-Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (Q-DASH) and Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT). Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon Tests were used respectively for intergroup and intra-group comparisons. Statistical significance level was p<0,05.
