Summary

The study will be conducted to investigate the effects of electrical charges (flexoelectric effect) \& mechanical brachioradialis muscle bending force on the displacement and strain of fracture gap on children with Distal radius greenstick fracture via finite element method.

Conditions

  • Fractures, Bone

Interventions

OTHER

Active Treatment Arm

Electrotherapy: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) will be placed across the fracture segments. The setting will be adjusted to 2±0.4 Hz sinusoidal wave, with a pulse width set between 50-200 microseconds, and each session will last between 20-30 minutes. Active Elbow Flexion Exercise: Following the electrotherapy session, the child will perform active assisted elbow flexion exercises with the forearm in a neutral position. This exercise will consist of 3 sets of 15 repetitions to enhance the role of the horizontal components of the brachioradialis muscle force.

OTHER

Control Treatment Arm

The child will wear a brace as a conservative treatment method.
