Evaluation of Limb Function and Perception in Rehabilitation After Traumatic Wrist Fracture Surgery

The goal of this observational study is to assess the functional and perceptual alterations of the affected limb during rehabilitation in adult orthopedic patients who underwent surgical treatment for distal radius fractures. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the correlation between functional and perceptual alterations of the affected limb at the beginning and end of rehabilitation? How do these alterations influence rehabilitation duration and effectiveness? Participants will: Complete the patient questionnaires ((QuickDASH and ALPQ). Undergo handgrip strength tests and digital dynamometer tests to assess forearm muscle strength. Have their range of motion evaluated by a physiotherapist during outpatient visits. No additional diagnostic or instrumental examinations are required beyond routine clinical practice. The study will recruit 100 adult patients, last 24 months, and provide insights into the role of body perception in rehabilitation after wrist fractures.
