In the forearm region of upper extremity radius is the bone which is located on the lateral side of the forearm alongside ulna. The distal part of the radius is that part which is connected to the wrist. If any break or discontinuity comes in this part of the radius then it is usually referred to as fracture of the distal radius, and this fracture usually takes place when a person falls on an outstretched hand leading to impact of the wrist to the floor and resulting in fracture. This fracture c

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain in the distal part of radius as a result of fracture is the primary outcome. Timepoint: Pain will be measured at the start of the treatment sessions and then after four weeks when the treatment sessions are finished. Method of measurement: Visual analogue scale will be used to measure pain. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Range of motion and functional limitation of wrist. Timepoint: Range of motion and functional limitation of wrist will be measured before the treatment sessions and after four weeks when all the treatment sessions are given. Method of measurement: Goniometer and PRWE questionnaire will be used to measure the range of motion and functional limitation. | — |
