Conditions

degenerative injury of triangular fibrocartilage complex. Injury of nerves at wrist and hand level

Interventions

Intervention 1: Intervention group: The short cockup splint made from thermoplastic sheet. This rigid splint covers the volar surface of the hand from the proximal palmar crease to two-third of forear

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Pain severity. Timepoint: All interventions will be allocated in a session and outcomes will be measured 10 minutes after receiving interventions. Method of measurement: Pain intensity will be measured using visual analogue scale. Participants indicate their pain level on a 10 cm scale.;Range of motions at the wrist. Timepoint: All interventions will be done in a session and outcomes will be measured 10 minutes after receiving interventions. Method of measurement: The passive range of motion will be measured using a digital goniometer.;The wrist weight bearing tolerance. Timepoint: All interventions will be allocated in a session and outcomes will be measured 10 minutes after receiving trial interventions. Method of measurement: Participants push on a weight recording scale with the palmar surface of the hand.;Hand grip strength. Timepoint: All interventions will be allocated in a session and outcomes will be measured 10 minutes after receiving trial interventions. Method of measurement: Hand grip on the involved side will be measured using a digital handgrip dynamometer.	—
