Unilateral Training of the Uninjured Limb on Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Surgically Treated Radius Fracture

The objective will be to determine the effectiveness of adding unilateral upper limb postoperative training to standard rehabilitation compared to standard rehabilitation on maximum grip strength and manual dexterity in patients aged 30-50 years with surgically treated distal radius fracture. It is presumed that the addition of unilateral upper limb training will significantly improve maximum grip strength and manual dexterity at the end of the intervention period compared to the group receiving only standard rehabilitation. Patients who agree to participate in this research will be randomly assigned to a control group (standard rehabilitation with unilateral training with mobility exercises) or an experimental group (standard rehabilitation with unilateral high-intensity strength training). The duration of the postoperative intervention will be 12 weeks. The primary variables are maximum grip strength and manual dexterity. Secondary variables are wrist mobility, forearm circumference, maximum voluntary isometric strength, functionality and health-related quality of life. Results will be measured at 0, 6 and 12 weeks postoperative.
