Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pain in the distal part of radius as a result of fracture is the primary outcome. Timepoint: Pain will be measured at the start of the treatment sessions and then after four weeks when the treatment sessions are finished. Method of measurement: Visual analogue scale will be used to measure pain.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Range of motion and functional limitation of wrist. Timepoint: Range of motion and functional limitation of wrist will be measured before the treatment sessions and after four weeks when all the treatment sessions are given. Method of measurement: Goniometer and PRWE questionnaire will be used to measure the range of motion and functional limitation.
