简要总结
The cross-training phenomenon is the increase in muscle strength in the contralateral limb when one limb is exercised. Limited studies have shown that it prevents immobilisation-induced muscle weakness in healthy volunteers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of strengthening the contralateral extremity on muscle strength and range of motion in the immobilised extremity in patients who had undergone immobilisation for forearm fractures.

结局指标
主要结局
Wrist isometric flexion muscle strength
时间窗: 1 year
The isometric flexion strength of the fractured wrist will be measured using an isokinetic dynamometer at the first week after immobilisation has ceased.
Wrist isometric extansion muscle strength
时间窗: 1 year
The isometric extansion strength of the fractured wrist will be measured using an isokinetic dynamometer at the first week after immobilisation has ceased.
