Official title
Investigation of the Predictability of Kinesiophobia on Functional Outcomes in Conservatively Treated Distal Radius Fractures
Overview
This study aimed to investigate the predictability of kinesiophobia on functional outcomes in conservatively treated patients with distal radius fractures. For this purpose, patients' level of kinesiophobia will be assessed using the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale. To assess the functional status of patients, joint range of motion and upper extremity weight bearing measurements will be performed. Patients' functionality will be additionally assessed with the Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation Questionnaire.
Interventions
- Other Questionnaire and Physical Exam
A goniometric assessment will be performed to measure the range of motion in the wrist-forearm joint, and a Push Off test will be conducted to measure the upper extremity weight-bearing capacity. Additionally, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia and Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation Questionnaire will be administered to patients using a face-to-face assessment method.
Primary outcome measures
- Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia [Time frame: At 12 and 18 weeks after injury]
- Goniometric measurement [Time frame: At 12 and 18 weeks after injury]
- Push-Off Test [Time frame: At 12 and 18 weeks after injury]
- Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation [Time frame: At 12 and 18 weeks after injury]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Having been treated conservatively with an isolated distal radius fracture diagnosis,
- Having a cognitive level that allows one to understand assessment methods and apply instructions.
Exclusion criteria
- Comorbid musculoskeletal-neurovascular injuries
- Bilateral injuries
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
