简要总结
Distal radius fractures are among the most common fractures treated by hand therapists. These patients are most conservatively treated with closed reduction and cast immobilization. Since there is an immobilization process after both treatments, a limitation in the range of motion of the joint occurs in patients. For this reason, most of the treatment models applied in rehabilitation are about restoring the range of motion of the joint. In general, kinesiophobia occurs due to joint limitation and pain. Loss of proprioception occurs in patients with mobility and desire as a result of kinesiophobia. By investigating the techniques used in rehabilitation, the more correct one for the patient can be selected. There is no clear result in the literature about which of the application methods is more effective. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) based stretching and Mulligan mobilization on pain, proprioception (joint position sense), wrist functionality, muscle strength and kinesiophobia in patients with joint limitation after distal radius end fracture. Thirty-four individuals aged 18-65 who were referred to a physiotherapy and rehabilitation program after distal radius end fracture will be included in the study. Individuals will be randomized into two groups. In the study, algometer and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to evaluate the pain intensity of the patients, universal goniometer for the evaluation of the forearm and wrist joint range of motion, microFET®2 Digital Handheld Dynamometer for the evaluation of the strength of the wrist flexor and extensor muscles, ulnar and radial deviation muscles. device will be used. The functional use of the wrist of the individuals is using the patient-based wrist assessment questionnaire (Patient Graded Wrist Assessment PRWE), the sense of attachment position for proprioception, and the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) for kinesiophobia. In our study, an exercise program will be applied with a physiotherapist for 6 weeks, 2 days a week, 45 minutes. To the first group; In addition to the traditional treatment, Mulligan mobilization will be applied, and the second group will be applied to the PNF techniques, 'hold-relax' in addition to the traditional treatment. It can be considerable that both techniques applied in our study may have positive effects on pain, kinesiophobia and proprioception.
详细描述
The wrist has a complex anatomy and consists of the following structures; bone, ligament, musculotendinous and neurovascular. The distal ends of the radius and ulna are radio-ulnar, radio-carpal and ulno-carpal; carpal bones form midcarpal joints among themselves (1).
The ulna and radius bones articulate with the wrist bones on the distal side, thus providing bony integrity (2).
The wrist joint is the joint region that is most exposed to trauma. Radius distal end fractures account for approximately 20% of fractures admitted to the emergency department and 75% of all forearm fractures. (3).
Distal radius fractures are very common, alone or in combination with other fractures and injuries. For example, in the United States there is an incidence of approximately 67 upper extremity fractures per 10,000 persons per year. Distal radius and ulna fractures account for approximately 25% of all fractures (4).
Distal radius fractures can occur at any age, with a largely bimodal distribution based on age and gender; They are children under 18 and adults over 50 (5).

结局指标
主要结局
Pain Threshold Assessment
时间窗: 10 minutes
The pressure pain threshold in the wrist joint will be recorded by measuring with the Baseline Dolorimeter 66 pounds. In addition to subjective assessment methods, it is necessary to record before and after treatment using this device in order to evaluate pain more objectively and to be expressed in the literature as data with high scientific evidence level.
Muscle Strength Assessment
时间窗: 8 minutes
It is planned to use microFET®2 Digital Handheld Dynamometer device to evaluate the strength of wrist flexor and extensor muscles, ulnar and radial deviation muscles. The device has the feature of acquiring objective data and transferring it to a computer. Measurements are recorded in the range of 0-300 lbs. Measurements will be tested with 10 seconds of resistance in the muscle test position. The data of this device are needed to express the weakness in the wrist muscles after the distal radius end fracture as a quantitative value. Thus, the effectiveness of treatment programs can be compared by showing the effect of decreasing muscle strength.
Visual Analog Scale
时间窗: 10 minutes
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) can be used to assess pain which perceived by patients. . VAS is a frequently used scale that indicates the severity of pain numerically. A 10 cm line is divided into 10 equal parts and both ends are numbered from 0 to 10 as the least and maximum pain intensity. Patients are asked to mark the place that best suits their pain intensity.
Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale
时间窗: 10 minutes
It will be used to assess kinesiophobia. The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale is a self-report measure developed to assess the fear of movement-related pain in patients with musculoskeletal pain. Its items are grouped as activity avoidance and somatic focus, according to two different factors (38,39).The scale is scored with range from 1-4, the negatively worded items are 4,8,12,1 and having a reverse scoring (4-1). The 17 item total scores are ranged from 17 to 68 where the lowest 17 means no kinesiophobia, and the higher scores indicate an increasing degree of kinesiophobia
Range of Motion Assessment (ROM)
时间窗: 10 minutes
The forearm and wrist joint range of motions will be performed with a universal goniometer in the patient sitting position and on the forearm examination table as degree. Evaluation will take place at weeks 6 and 12 (30-33).
Proprioception Assessment
时间窗: 8 minutes
The sensation of kinesthesia is measured by perceiving the minimum degree of motion of the joint per unit time and is generally used as the "passive motion detection threshold" in studies. Joint position sense; It is measured by the ability of a joint at a certain angle to actively or passively repeat the same position. As the error made while repeating the determined target angle decreases, the quality of the sense of joint position increases. Goniometer will be used for evaluation. The patients' deviations from the target angles for the wrist will be recorded as degree (33-37).
