Results

The QuickDASH scores were significantly lower in the OT group at 6 weeks post-surgery (12.5 vs. 19.4). The postoperative VAS pain scores were significantly lower in the OT group at 2, 4, and 6 weeks (10.2 vs. 17.6). The active ROM of the wrist flexion-extension arc at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks, active ROM of the pronation-supination arc at 6 and 8 weeks, and passive ROM of the wrist flexion-extension arc at 2, 4, and 8 weeks were significantly greater in the OT group.

Baseline Characteristics

Female patients older than 40 years with distal radius fracture and who underwent volar plate fixation between September 2014 and May 2018 were included in this prospective, two-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial. Patients with polytrauma, open fracture, ulnar head fracture excluding ulnar styloid fracture, ipsilateral extremity fracture, present or previous fracture to the contralateral side, history of complex regional pain syndrome, collagen vascular disease, or limited cognitive capacity were excluded.

Participant flow

Fifty-seven patients diagnosed with distal radius fractures who had undergone volar plate fixation were enrolled in a prospective randomized controlled trial. Patients were randomised into the OT and independent exercise (IE) groups, in which they exercised independently under the surgeon's direction wit and without OT, respectively. The primary outcome was the functional outcome measured using the Quick Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) questionnaire after 6 weeks. The secondary outcomes were functional outcomes measured using the Patient-rated Wrist Evaluation questionnaire, active and passive ranges of motion (ROMs), grip strength, key pinch strength, and pain measured on a visual analog scale (VAS). Patients were followed up in the outpatient department at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks and at 3 and 6 months.

Adverse events

none

Outcome measures

The main outcome measure was the functional outcome measured using the Quick Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) questionnaire after 6 weeks. The secondary outcomes were functional outcomes measured using the Patient-rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) questionnaire, active and passive ROMs, grip strength, key pinch strength, and pain measured on a visual analog scale (VAS).
