Association of wrist and forearm range of motion measures with self-reported functional scores amongst patients with distal radius fractures: A longitudinal study
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders May 17, 2018
Yang Z, et al. - Authors evaluated the effect of various range-of-motion (ROM) limitations on physical function amongst patients with distal radius fractures. A multi-centre, longitudinal study of 138 patients with conservatively managed distal radius fractures (DRF) was performed. In view of ROM being potentially modifiable, patient education and refine interventions to optimize functional recovery could be potentially facilitated with the identification of important ROM measures associated with QuickDASH scores. Strongest ROM measures related to functional scores over time included wrist extension, active thumb opposition and a full composite grip.
