1. Management of Wrist Stiffness
This chapter covers identification and treatment techniques for specific limitations at the midcarpal and radiocarpal joints, as well as soft-tissue restrictions that can inhibit recovery. These impairments are commonly seen following distal radius fracture. Once the patient is cleared for passive motion, addressing these restrictions can expedite patient recovery.
2. Proprioception and Strengthening
Proprioception and strengthening are intimately connected and are critically important to resuming functional loading for the wrist. This chapter covers treatment techniques for progression with proprioceptive training and strengthening to maximize your patient’s functional outcome.
3. Expected Outcomes
This chapter introduces the framework for evaluating your patient’s outcome through pain, range of motion, and grip strength. This chapter also reviews the current literature for what to expect from surgical intervention following distal radius fracture.
