Conditions
Brief summary
Trauma surgery and rehabilitation services select patients with diagnosis of distal radius fracture to be enrolled througth consecutive sampling. This prospective clinical trial compared those who received ReHand app home exercise program with those enrolled in the conventional home exercise program guided by paper sheet. The main hypothesis is that the use of ReHand is more effective than the conventional treatment used for home rehabilitation of distal radius fracture.
Interventions
In the experimental condition subjects receive ReHand Tablet app as a home-based form of rehabilitation. A 6-week home exercise intervention is performed, which has to be carried out daily by the patient autonomously at home for at least 5 days per week, starting after baseline measurement, and beginning no more than 10 days after removal of immobilization or surgical intervention. The exercises of the Tablet app program are specifically selected for rehabilitation after distal radius fracture a

A 6-week home exercise intervention is performed, which has to be carried out daily by the patient autonomously at home for at least 5 days per week, starting after baseline measurement, and beginning no more than 10 days after removal of immobilization or surgical intervention. The exercises of the Tablet app program are specifically selected for rehabilitation after distal radius fracture and last approximately 25 minutes per day. ReHand is a Tablet application (Android and iOS) which has a battery of specific exercises for the recovery after a trauma injury to be done touching the Tablet screen. The adherence to treatment is monitored through ReHand dashboard. Exercise example: wrist flexion and extension, performing a controlled movement in a painless range guided by feedback during 25 seconds.
