Effects of Action Observation Therapy and Motor Imagery Administered During Immobilization Period After Surgical Fixation of Distal Radius
- Conditions
- Distal Radius Fracture
- Interventions
- Behavioral: Motor Imagery and Action Observation Training
- Registration Number
- NCT05867199
- Lead Sponsor
- Istituto Clinico Humanitas
- Brief Summary
The goal of this trial is to verify the effectiveness of Motor Imagery and Action Observation Training in subjects undergoing surgery for distal radius fracture fixation. The main question it aims to answer is:
- can action observation and motor imagery training administered during immobilisation period improve functional outcome after distal radius fracture fixation? Participants will be asked to perform hand dexterity test and grip and pinch strength evaluation Subjects assigned to control group will follow standard care
