Summary

Distal radius fractures are the most common fractures when looking at upper extremity fractures . The incidence of distal radius fractures is increasing day by day, and when looking at the databases of various countries, the annual prevalence reaches 70,000 in the UK and 640,000 in the USA. Most of them are related to osteoporosis, and if appropriate treatment is not given, they cause loss of work capacity, permanent disability, and limitation in daily activities . There are publications showing that short immobilization and appropriate rehabilitation after surgery provide good clinical results. In cases that are not properly rehabilitated after surgery, there may be an average delay of 12 weeks in returning to normal life and returning to work. When patients who were given early mobilization and rehabilitation after surgery were examined, it was observed that there was a significant improvement in wrist functions, range of motion, and grip strength . Instrumented soft tissue mobilization is a unique soft tissue mobilization combined with active mobility and stretching exercises that is prescribed to increase joint range of motion in patients with musculoskeletal injuries. The various sizes and beveled edges of the stainless steel instruments allow physical therapists to tailor the treatment to different muscle structures that experience myofascial restrictions. Instrumented soft tissue mobilization aims to reduce fascial limitations by increasing circulation. Increases in localized blood flow and soft tissue realignment promote muscle function, increased normal joint movement, and decreased pain.

Interventions

DEVICE

Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization

Instrumented soft tissue mobilization is a type of manual therapy method.Istrumented soft tissue mobilization aims to reduce fascial limitations by increasing circulation. Increases in localized blood flow and soft tissue realignment promote muscle function, increased normal joint movement, and decreased pain.

OTHER

Routine rehabilitation programe

Routine rehabilitation programe consisting of stretching and strengthening exercises will be applied.
