Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Does specialized hand therapy rehabilitation affect the function of the wrist and hand? Hypotheses: A distal radius fracture requires conservative or surgical treatment. This determines the further functional training and weight-bearing of the wrist and hand. While a conservative treatment regimen initially involves immobilizing the joint for several weeks, surgical treatment with osteosynthetic stabilization can be followed by early functional exercise and weight-bearing immediately after surgery in order to restore hand function as quickly as possible. Special hand therapy rehabilitation with defined treatment content allows the individual functions of the wrist and hand to be specifically trained and restored. a. Special hand therapy rehabilitation influences the mobility of the wrist on both the injured (a.1) and healthy (a.2) sides. b. Special hand therapy rehabilitation influences the mobility of the long fingers and thumb on the injured side. c. Special hand therapy rehabilitation influences the development of hand strength on the injured and healthy sides.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Functional limitations of the hand make it difficult to perform everyday tasks, thereby reducing quality of life. These factors can be positively influenced by improving function and providing therapy specifically designed to help with everyday activities. a. Specialized hand therapy rehabilitation has an impact on subjective well-being and quality of life. b. Specialized hand therapy rehabilitation has an impact on the intensity of pain when performing ADL.
