Study Summary

This trial is comparing the outcomes of individuals who have surgery for a wrist fracture and receive routine hand therapy treatment versus those who receive routine hand therapy treatment along with sensorimotor activities. Participants will be randomly

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking adults over 18 who've had wrist surgery with a volar plate to fix a broken distal radius. They must be able to attend weekly occupational therapy sessions.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares routine hand therapy alone versus hand therapy plus sensorimotor activities in healing after wrist surgery. Participants are randomly assigned to either the control group or the experimental group and evaluated at 3 and 6 weeks.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-invasive therapies, side effects may include discomfort during exercises, potential temporary increase in pain or swelling post-therapy, and fatigue.
