Tele-rehabilitation in Patients Operated for Distal Radius Fracture
Condition: Distal Radius Fracture
MeSH terms: Fractures, Bone; Radius Fractures; Wrist Fractures
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      It was designed as a randomized controlled prospective. After 2 weeks of splint follow-up,
      the splints of the patients who were operated due to distal radius fracture and volar plate
      were applied will be removed and included in the physical therapy program. The measurements
      and scores of the patients at the time of removal of the splint will be recorded. Patients'
      non-injured contralateral extremity data will also be recorded. The dominant party will be
      registered. Preoperative fracture classification of the patients, reduction parameters after
      surgery, waiting time for post-fracture surgery, pre-fracture chronic diseases, cognitive
      disorders, psychiatric disease histories, whether the patients lived alone at home or not
      will be recorded. Patients will be randomized with the help of a free computer aided
      numerator. The patients will be divided into two groups and conventional face-to-face
      rehabilitation will be applied to one group, and the previously planned tele-rehabilitation
      program will be applied to the other group.

      disorders, psychiatric disease histories, whether the patients lived alone at home or not
      will be recorded. Patients will be randomized with the help of a free computer aided
      numerator. The patients will be divided into two groups and conventional face-to-face
      rehabilitation will be applied to one group, and the previously planned tele-rehabilitation
      program will be applied to the other group. Videos of the exercises they will do via whatsapp
      will be sent to the telerehabilitation group. Again, in telerehabilitation, whatapp
      application will be made in the form of videoconference. Rehabilitation program will be
      applied to the patients 4 times a week for 6 weeks. Rehabilitation will be applied to the
      groups by the same person. At the end of the rehabilitation program, the first measurements
      of the patients will be taken. The third measurement of the patients will be taken at the 3rd
      month after the surgery. Among the parameters to be checked, grip strength, wrist range of
      motion, Shortened Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) and Patient-Rated
      Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) questionnaire, VAS scale will be used. Solid side values will be
      recorded. Tele-rehabilitation satisfaction survey will be applied in the 3rd month controls
      of the patients.
