Brief summary
This study aimed to investigate the predictability of kinesiophobia on functional outcomes in conservatively treated patients with distal radius fractures. For this purpose, patients' level of kinesiophobia will be assessed using the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale. To assess the functional status of patients, joint range of motion and upper extremity weight bearing measurements will be performed. Patients' functionality will be additionally assessed with the Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation Questionnaire.
Interventions
OTHERQuestionnaire and Physical Exam
A goniometric assessment will be performed to measure the range of motion in the wrist-forearm joint, and a Push Off test will be conducted to measure the upper extremity weight-bearing capacity. Additionally, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia and Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation Questionnaire will be administered to patients using a face-to-face assessment method.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia | At 12 and 18 weeks after injury | It is a 17-item scale scored using a 4-point Likert scale (1 = Strongly disagree, 4 = Strongly agree). A total score is calculated after reversing items 4, 8, 12, and 16. The individual receives a total score between 17 and 68. A high score on the scale indicates a high level of kinesiophobia. |
| Goniometric measurement | At 12 and 18 weeks after injury | Patients' forearm pronation and supination, as well as wrist flexion, extension, radial and ulnar deviation movements, will be measured using a universal goniometer. |
| Push-Off Test | At 12 and 18 weeks after injury | It determines the force that the person can exert on their injured limb. The measurement will be taken using a Jamar hand dynamometer. While the person is standing, with the shoulder at 30 degrees of extension and the elbow at 30 degrees of flexion, the measurement will be repeated three times and the average recorded in kilograms. |
| Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation | At 12 and 18 weeks after injury | It measures the severity of wrist pain and the level of disability in activities of daily living. The survey consists of two subsections with a total of 15 questions. Each question is answered on a scale of 0 to 10 (0 = no pain/difficulty; 10 = maximum pain felt/inability to perform). The scores for the pain and function sections are added together to determine the final score, which is calculated out of 100. A high score indicates a high level of pain and disability. |
