Efficacy of Passive Mobilization and Home Exercises in Post Immobilization Period of Distal Radius Fracture
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Background and objective: To compare the efficacy of passive mobilization and home exercises with only home exercises in post immobilization period of distal radius fracture. Methods: Thirty subjects in post immobilization period of distal radius fractures participated in the study. These subjects were randomly allocated to experimental and control groups. All the subjects were evaluated for pain, grip strength, ROM and functional capabilities before the treatment started (‘0’ day) and at the end of 2nd week. Both the groups received Paraffin Wax Bath and home exercises in common. However the experimental group received an additional intervention in the form of passive mobilization. Outcomes were measured for pain, grip strength, ROM and functional capabilities. Results: Statistical analysis showed significant gain in pain reduction, grip strength, ROM and functional capabilities (in “0” day- 2nd week period) in experimental group than control group. Interpretation and Conclusion: Combination of passive mobilization and home exercises is more effective than home exercises alone in post immobilization period of distal radius fractures.
