Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: subjects over 60 years of age derived from the Adult Traumatology Service of the San Borja Arriarán Clinical Hospital, with a medical diagnosis of multifrectional extraarticular type FRD according to the AO classification, treated conservatively with closed reduction plus immobilization with plaster. Subjects that accept and sign informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Subjects presenting some immediate complication after removal of immobilization , painful regional complex type I, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc. subjects presenting a shoulder pathology diagnosed at least 1 year before the occurrence of the DRF, subacromial pinching syndrome, partial or total rupture of the rotator cuff, glenohumeral instability, adhesive capsulitis, etc.
Design outcomes

|---|---|
| functionality To assess the functionality prior to the start of treatment and at the end of the treatment, the DASH questionnaire will be used. The sample size was calculated using the Stata 12.0 program, and the necessary initial data was extracted from the study conducted by Gong et al. Patients with FRD treated with immobilization with gypsum plus a kinesic treatment program, at the sixth week showed an average of 50.7 with a Standard Deviation (SD) of 24.4 points in the DASH questionnaire. Taking into account the study by Franchignoni et al, we established as a minimum clinically important difference a reduction of at least 15 points for the experimental group compared to the control. To detect this difference between both treatments, with a value of P = 0.05 (probability of committing a type I error) and a statistical power of 80%, a minimum of 42 patients per group is needed, we also consider adjusting the size of the shows for possible losses, for that we will recruit 20% more of the required patients in each group. According to this, the authors of the present study have proposed as experimental hypothesis that there is a reduction of at least 15 points in the DASH questionnaire in the group treated with scapular control exercises added to the kinesic treatment compared with the group that received only kinesic treatment . As positive results, we expect there to be significant differences between EG and GG in the final year of a 12-week treatment program.;When comparing the results between both treatments at the end of week 6, the DASH questionnaire showed a difference of 16.7 points (p = 0.000), the wrist function with PRWE showed a difference of 1.5 points (p = 0.541). | — |

| wrist functionality To assess the wrist functionality prior to treatment and after treatment, the PRWE validated questionnaire will be used, an increase in its score is expected at the end of the treatment;Pain To evaluate the pain intensity prior to treatment and after treatment, the analogous visual scale (VAS) will be used, expecting a decrease after the intervention.;When comparing the results between both treatments at the end of week 6, the movement pain measured with EVA showed a decrease of 1.7 cm (P = 0.000) | — |
