Summary

Distal radius fractures are among the most common fractures in adults and are frequently treated with closed reduction and cast immobilization. Although fracture healing is generally successful, some patients may develop fear of movement (kinesiophobia) after cast removal because of pain, reinjury concerns, or reduced confidence in using the injured wrist.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the level of kinesiophobia in adults with conservatively treated distal radius fractures and to investigate how kinesiophobia changes over time following cast removal. The study will also examine the relationship between kinesiophobia and functional recovery.

Participants will be assessed after cast removal and again at three months following injury. Kinesiophobia, pain intensity, hand and wrist function, range of motion, grip strength, and upper extremity disability will be evaluated using standardized assessment tools. The findings may help clinicians better understand the role of movement-related fear in recovery and support the development of rehabilitation strategies aimed at improving functional outcomes after distal radius fractures.
