Summary

When determining the treatment method to be applied in distal radius fracture (DRF), in addition to clinical and radiological evaluation, the patient's age, physical activity level, cognitive status, severity of trauma, mechanism of injury and type of fracture are important factors in the treatment plan. Clinical studies show that physiotherapy is useful in improving the limitation of movement and pain in DRF. It shows that the active movement level is increased by decreasing the level. Rehabilitation after surgery proceeds similarly to conservative treatment. When exercise approaches in the literature are examined, it is seen that specific exercises for the wrist and forearm are recommended for treatment, but it has been reported that there are not enough studies to constitute evidence value. For decades, the skeletal muscles of the human body have been characterized as independent structures. However, recent research supports the "single muscle theory", contrary to this classical view. According to this theory, the fascia tissue that covers the entire body connects the muscles to each other in the form of chains, and the muscles in the chain work together in performing functional movements. These chains are called myofascial chains. Fascia tissue that creates all these connections; It consists of tightly arranged connective tissue and is structurally similar to tendons and ligaments. It surrounds organs, muscles, vessels and nerves, connects tissues and allows them to slide and move over each other. Past histological studies have reported that there are also contractile cells in the fascia structure. Although there are problems in rehabilitation after DRF that go beyond a single segment and affect the whole body; There is no study in the literature that uses the myofascial chain exercises approach in the treatment of these problems. In the light of all this information, the thesis study aims to ensure the active participation of the upper body muscles in the rehabilitation process with the DRUK program planned with myofascial chain exercises and in this way to improve the functional level obtained as a result of rehabilitation.

Therapeutic Exercises

Participants who have inclusion criterias after DRF reconstrontion pos-op 4. week will included this study. Certified Physiotherapist who have master of science degree and doctorate student will assessed them before and after treatment with face to face. Also exercise education will give face to face with same therapist. After that first sessions patients will progress their standardize or structered exercises pragram with telerehabilition during 4 weeks and 16 sessions. All sessions will be supervised with physiotherapist. End of study assessments will perform again with same therapist.
